It's been nearly 12 years since we launched the People Behind the Science podcast to give people a behind-the-scenes look at who scientists are, what they do, and what a career in science can look like. Over the years, I've met hundreds of amazing scientists and been inspired by their stories. I've also been fortunate to connect with wonderful partners and sponsors whose support has been instrumental in keeping the show going.

2026 marks our third year of partnering with the fantastic team at Innovative Research to sponsor the podcast, and we are grateful for their continuing support and their belief in our mission to humanize science by sharing the voices, stories, and journeys of researchers.

A big thank you to Innovative Research for their support of this week's episode featuring Dr. Donald Smith from McGill University!

"Reflections on Academic Communication"

Full Essay: https://seanfobbe.com/posts/2026-02-20_reflections-on-academic-communication/ (Open Access)

Academia is in a crisis of communication. Academics do a lot of communicating, but we rarely reflect on how and why we communicate. There are very active debates on the reform of academic publishing, but they rarely make it into the mainstream of academia.

I’ve been thinking about academic communication a lot and I decided to write up some thoughts as an essay, perhaps make a series out of it. By “academic communication” I mean communication as an academic, whether this is within academia among academics or if it is between academia and business, academia and civil society or academia and the general public. In this first essay I’ve chosen to focus on some modern means of academic communication: websites, social media and e-mail. Each of them is not enough to make an academic career, but they represent some of the best means we have to evade traditional academic gatekeeping.
