Helen Malherbe
has 15 years of experience as a science communicator, both in the
international development sector as well with nationally &
locally based programmes. With an academic background in the natural
sciences field, this foundation enables a good grasp of a range of
scientific disciplines, but with a preference for the biological
sciences.
Helen’s area of expertise lies in communicating complex science issues
in an understandable manner to the layperson, using the appropriate
language, pitch and relevance to everyday issues to bring them to life.
This is done with passion and enthusiasm, communicating the message
whilst ensuring the scientific integrity is maintained, thus bridging
the divide between the researcher and the public.
As Helen herself says, “the
thing I love the most is explaining complex concepts in a simple,
understandable way to someone with no previous background or
understanding of the issues – and seeing them understand!”
