Feedback from participants

'Olya shared with me her knowledge that was essential in understanding the basics of scientific communication and content creation. Thanks to Olya, I was able to establish a well-structured and clear workflow. One of the remarkable aspects of her mentorship that I particularly appreciated was her method of systematically dissecting all the work I created, piece by piece, to better understand the procedural flow. Olya provided me with a thorough understanding of how to analyze and write for different target groups, conduct proper keyword research for search engine optimization, and write comprehensive and focused essays. This approach helped me realize my interest in continuing my career in this field.'

'Olya guided me in my first steps as a scientific communicator by sharing her experience in all aspects of scientific writing, social media, and web marketing. From the beginning, we worked on real projects, and Olya generously shared her tips and tricks, templates, networking contacts etc. right in the process. I am immensely grateful for such a comprehensive and caring approach, it gave me a deep insight into the profession and provided me with first cases for my scicomm resume. Olya is not only a professional but also a great career mentor, she teaches you everything she knows (and she knows a lot!) and is always available if you need some support further on your path. She is the best person to contact if you are thinking about starting in scicomm or already trying it yourself and need extra input!'
