An Alumni Impact Story: Andrea Larney

Andrea Larney is a professional communicator with a passion for science communication and science literacy. She is currently the Editorial Manager at Inside Scientific, an online educational forum for scientists, dedicated to increasing science literacy across Canada.
Andrea remembers her early years as an elementary student with a fond recollection of the days the teacher announced that Scientists in School would be visiting the class. “What I remember most is the feeling of excitement on the day we knew that the scientists were coming. We were excited to go to science class!”
Andrea describes herself as a curious child and believes that her curiosity was piqued by becoming a “scientist” when Scientists in School visited her class. “Scientists in School impacted me because it made science fun and engaging!” Andrea remembers that at times it was difficult to get the kids in her class interested in science and often hard to understand [science], but having a real scientist in the classroom who was excited to teach science, helped make [the subject] both interesting and relatable.
Andrea’s message to young kids - “Science is such a worthy field to pursue!”
