Are you curious about becoming a public information officer (PIO)? What exactly are they and what do they do? Well, meet Sarah McQuate, a public information officer at University of Washington. Sarah spoke with Fatu and Shekerah about how her love of science (gently) pushed into her career path that aligned with her three goals: making science accessible to the general public, helping scientists explain their science better, and increasing diversity in science. Sarah writes about the amazing research that is produced from the College of Engineering and the Information School at U of Washington with topics ranging from traditional technology (robots, search engines, etc) to climate and air quality to the intersection of technology and medicine. Her day to day as a PIO varies everyday, which Sarah enjoys. She is often juggling her time between interviewing scientists for a story, writing a story and reading research papers, and connecting reports to researchers for a story. And, when Sarah is not writing articles in her office she is actively involved in university diversity and equity committees that support leadership in hiring, retention, and developing equitable practices for the future of the institution. Sarah also takes some time to answer listener questions about how she got started and what her least and most favorite parts are about her job. Click the link to hear more
