In the seventh webinar of Scientia’s Science Writing Internship Cohort Five, Dr Nozair Khawaja led an engaging session titled “From Curiosity to Contribution: Practices in Planetary Science and Astrobiology.”
Drawing from his own journey in planetary science and astrobiology, Dr. Khawaja explored how curiosity fuels discovery — and how effective science communication transforms that discovery into a meaningful contribution. He emphasized the importance of language in highly specialized fields, explaining how complex concepts in astrobiology and planetary sciences can be made accessible without losing scientific rigor.
Through personal experiences, he shared insights into working at the frontier of space research and highlighted why science journalists and communicators should develop at least a foundational understanding of the subjects they cover. A basic scientific background, combined with genuine curiosity, enables communicators to ask better questions, interpret findings accurately, and tell stories that truly reflect the science.
The session encouraged interns to approach emerging fields with openness and intellectual curiosity, reminding them that impactful science communication begins with the desire to understand before attempting to explain.
