132 | Vulnerable Ian Peter Busuulwa | Policy Science Communication | Part 3

Ian Peter Busuulwa biotechnologist with a strong passion for effective science communication and science policy advocacy. I have over 4 years of experience in communicating biotechnology to grassroots communities and other stakeholders and advocating for evidence-based policy while working with governmental and non-governmental organizations. He has experience running science communication projects that involve unconventional ways of communicating science such as through storytelling (Science Stories Africa) and TikTok (Science Unplugged).

His recent policy interests are in advocating for a favourable policy environment for synthetic biology in Africa (as part of Synbio Africa) and growing Uganda's bioeconomy (Bioeconomy Coalition of Uganda).

In this episode, he talks about his journey into a career in science communication in Uganda.

The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.

The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.
