Bridging the gap.
SMAHRT’s communications team aims to bridge the gap between science and the general public. The goal of our communications work is to share information regarding SMAHRT, such as new research findings, insights and our youth-focused programs, with our audiences.
Communication interns execute campaigns from start to finish.
SMAHRT’s communications internship provides an immersive experience for undergraduate students interested in health or science communications. Team members work together to brainstorm content ideas that align with SMAHRT’s audience and brand, create content calendars, provide and receive thoughtful feedback, and collaborate with other SMAHRT staff and research interns.
As a communications team we work through strategy, creation, edits, publishing, and monitoring to reach our goal of bridging the gap between science and the public.
Our favorite campaigns
Hear from communication interns
For about six months now, I have been interning with Maggie on the SMAHRT communications team. Under Maggie’s mentorship, I have learned an incredible amount about what it takes to manage the social media and public image of a brand. I have learned about the importance of consistency, creativity, and compelling writing. I have so enjoyed my internship thus far, and I look forward to my future with the SMAHRT team!

SMAHRT’s flat hierarchy is present in every aspect of the team, and the communications team illuminates such an environment with collaborative and respectful thought and work. Blogs, social media, research dissemination, and campaigns are four strong suits of just one team. My favorite campaign has become an annual one in which we celebrate women in science and acknowledge their work both personally and professionally. My time with the communications team revealed layers to research I had not previously known whilst nurturing my creative mind and expanding my knowledge of communications.
