As a research scientist I think it's important to help make your research more accessible by producing press releases, to disseminate your findings to a wider audience. Whether or not it gets picked up by a news outlet is an entirely different story! I also think scientists should work to combat misinformation in the media, breaking down misconceptions about the field they study. Unfortunately amphibians and reptiles have a global image problem but thankfully some people will listen to sense. Listed below are a number of examples where my conservation actions, research and comments have been published by various media outlets.
