Reply to AskScience AMA Series: I'm Dr. Christine Wilkinson, National Geographic Explorer, carnivore ecologist, human-wildlife interactions specialist, and performer. Want to know why a coyote wanders through your city? What happens when hyenas chew your tires during research? How to get into SciComm? AMA! by AskScienceModerator

I saw a taiko performance last year and it was so awesome and great energy. "Ganbatte! ganbatte!" was a fun song; not sure if that was one of their's or a common song.

Since you mentioned getting into SciComm, I have a couple questions. My passion lies in science, and I've been chewing on ideas of getting into SciComm for a while, from making youtube content to mixing music performance with science-based experiments and visualizations. I know that realistically, you simply just need to start somewhere if you're passionate about it, and the rest will eventually follow.

But my questions are these: what does a "career" look like as you get into SciComm? How does it turn into a source of income that can support you? What kind of organizations or people should you look to get involved with to get somewhere with it?

I would guess that 100 years ago people would say we would need to burn a SHIT TON of fossil fuel to actually affect Earth's climate
