Turning Scientists Into Communicators
Orders of Magnitude is a not-for-profit science communication initiative exploring the world we live in, from the smallest particle to the observable universe! We encourage scientists to engage in science communication and train them to make their complex work more accessible and relatable.

Our Mission Turning Scientists Into Communicators
Orders of Magnitude aims to enable scientists to create accurate and simple scientific content by providing the platform, tools and training to do so. Orders of Magnitude members learn to translate scientific jargon into everyday language so that anyone can understand complex science.
From the smallest atoms to the confines of the cosmos, we provide people with different forms of scientific content including podcasts, blog posts, videos and more!

Orders of Magnitude Blog
Scientific articles are often hard to understand! If you’re not a specialist in the field you’re trying to read about, you’ll likely have a hard time interpreting the lengthy sentences and complex plots that decorate peer-reviewed articles.
In our blog, you’ll find summaries of these scientific articles written by scientists who did the hard work of understanding the information!
Orders of Magnitude Podcast
The science podcast that explores the world we live in, from the smallest particle to the observable universe!
In our podcast, we interview graduate students and professors who are passionate about the science they do. This is a great source to learn more about different types of science in an audio format. Some episodes are also available in video format – check out our youtube channel!
Orders of Magnitude Videos
Science is much more fun and easy to understand when expressed through video form! We have several science communicators interested in creating videos covering incredible science through long-format (youtube) and short-format videos (Instagram and Tiktok).
Make sure to visit us on all of those platforms to receive all of the amazing content our science communicators are producing!
