"Science, sci-comm, books & gymnastics" ... that's how today's guest describes themselves to a Twitter audience of over 8,000 people. 

Dr Sam Rowe is a scientist and science communicator working on events and marketing for Norwich Science Festival, as well as being a Pint of Science City Coordinator. In this episode, we talk to Sam about being an active voice in the 'Academic Twitter' community, touching on the role of being LGBTQ+ in his journey and how social media has been a largely positive influence on his life. 

It's not all been easy for Sam however. We delve deeper in to the issue of imposter syndrome with PhD candidates and the challenges that come with balancing difficult academic pursuits and maintaining positive mental health.
