Science Sam Media was founded in 2019 by popular Science Communicator Samantha Yammine. Using best practises acquired through her academic studies and extensive experience from the leading edge of science communication, Science Sam Media hosts and produces science content for TV, radio, and digital video platforms; runs science communication training and STEM career workshops; delivers international keynotes on fascinating topics in science; and provides consulting services for organizations looking to bring their science out of the lab and in front of communities.
If you are looking to book Science Sam as a speaker, she is proud to be represented by the National Speakers Bureau so please reach out directly to them.
If you have any general science questions, you can ask them directly anytime via Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter & Facebook! This email inbox is only monitored for business inquiries and collaborations so personal science questions asked via email may not receive a response.
NOTE: Capacity for brand partnerships via @science.sam channels is limited and as such not all brand requests will receive a reply.
Before sending collaboration requests, please note that - at minimum - all professional agreements must adhere to the following set of values:
All work and collaborations must be factual and evidence-based. No compromises on scientific accuracy will be made for the sake of promoting a brand or company
All work and collaborations must comply with Samantha's commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, meaning all content created will be made inclusive to the widest possible audience. For example:
Video content will be closed captioned such that it remains accessible for folks who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Graphical data will use colourblind-friendly textures, and palettes appropriate for colour vision deficiency
Pictures will have alt text or image descriptions, as appropriate for the platform
Venues will have gender affirming washroom signage and accessibility ramps
Organizers will lead a well-researched land acknowledgement if audience is majority settlers
If any clothing is being promoted, sizes will go beyond XL
Work will be refused if it may contribute to the marginalization of people on the basis of (but not limited to) gender identity or expression, body size, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, level of education, race, religion, ethnicity, or disability
