Science Together

Science for everyone.
Science by everyone.

Joyce believes that people can participate in science, and having more people involved leads to better science and more actionable policy outcomes. Some collaborative side quests that try to tackle this sticky problem are below!

Improving Science Communication and Science Policy
(Previously with Imaginative Futures)

Preventing Gender-Based Harassment and Assault During Fieldwork with FieldFutures

2024NovKnowYourPlace-0793.jpg

Many people from underrepresented backgrounds leave the field due to unsafe or uncomfortable fieldwork experiences.

Good news: FieldFutures offers evidence-based, customizable training so you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Collaborating with Artists

Collaborating with artists to expand the reach of scientific information and explore new data collection methods. I worked with the amazing Lily Duval on art inspired by small marine invertebrates in Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour and collaborated with several Lyttelton artists.

Sharing Knowledge with Communities

What we do on land affects life in the sea and the global climate.

I give public workshops and talks on request (and can recommend some amazing marine educators in Ōtautahi/Christchurch if I’m unable to give them myself).

Creating Science Projects with Communities

Creating science projects with communities that inform local policy. What are the local environmental concerns? How can we, as scientists, help build projects where communities can collect and process data? And can we ensure this data is used in scientific publications?
