This month, the PREreview Team is very excited to welcome María Pía Tavella as the new Communications and Engagement Officer! In this role, Pía will play a crucial part in clearly and effectively communicating our work and boosting engagement among various audiences, including researchers, students, publishers, funders, like-minded organizations, and the wider community.
Pía joins PREreview after 3 years of working in science communication and outreach initiatives for public research agencies and cultural institutions in Argentina and Spain. Adding to her experience, she held the position of SAPIENS Magazine Public Scholars Training Fellow, where she cultivated her skills in storytelling and thoughtful, cross-cultural communications, enhancing her background in Anthropology research and teaching.
Pía will be working with the PREreview team to develop and implement a communications strategy aimed at fostering meaningful engagement with our diverse and globally distributed community, across a variety of channels and formats. She will also collaborate with the rest of the PREreview team to coordinate and co-facilitate events, both online and in-person, and work closely with the Product team to ensure new developments are informed by community input and communicated effectively.
💬 Vanessa, PREreview Head of Community, says,
We are very excited to have Pía join the PREreview Team as our new Communications and Engagement Officer. We have for a long time wanted to enhance our strategic communications, and Pía brings a lot of experience and expertise in this area. Pía has also demonstrated great alignment with our values at PREreview, and I look forward to working together to better communicate our mission and vision, and to elevate the amazing work of our community members.
🗨️ Pía says,
I am thrilled to be taking part in PREreview's team and mission. Public trust in science and support for scientific efforts are under increasing pressure, but the persistence of opaque and exclusionary practices of knowledge production, evaluation, and dissemination only deepens this trend. That is why I am so motivated to put my head, hands, and heart at the service of such a transformative endeavour.
