Science Communication

‘Little Big Science’ (in Hebrew: מדע גדול בקטנה) is an NPO, and one of the largest science communication organizations in Israel, which sets out to make all-STEM science accessible for the general public, while bridging the language barrier (English-Hebrew). I am a translator, writer and chief-editor of popular science articles, & I participate in engaging scientific activities, on multiple social media platforms, to gain tight interaction with both young and old audiences. I do it all on a voluntary basis, strongly believing that the public deserves reliable and relatable science, especially in the face of the current era of fake news. For my work at the NPO, I received a Science Communication Award (runner-up) from the Entomological Society of America in 2022. 

To my 'Little big science' profile

December 2019: I was invited to record a podcast with the CEO of 'Little big science', Yomiran Nissan & Shimon Richik. We talked about how I became interested in the study of social insects and particularly ants, and I revealed some anecdotes on their fascinating life. The podcast is available with no charge in most known podcast apps (Podbean, Google, Spotify, Apple).   ​

December 2022: Here I took our Israeli viewers to see how I excavate a desert ant colony in North Tel-Aviv! This video is a part of a series of videos intended to showcase women scientists at the NPO.

I also gave a live talk on the importance of insects to human life for Israeli children under Covid-19 quarantine (April 2020).

Occasionally, I write popular science articles for the website of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Tel-Aviv:
