UpComms PR will be among over 20 Content Partners at the Sci-TechKnoFest 2.0 (Science, Technology, Knowledge Festival) hosted by Trinidad and Tobago’s National Institute of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (NIHERST) from March 21-27, 2022.
​
​The solo-PR agency, which is dedicated to serving science organisations and those in STEM-related fields, will host a virtual booth where participants can discover content from its Crick Crack Science multimedia hub. 

On showcase are the Crick Crack Science Podcast series “Bats of Bat Island,” and pre-recorded episodes from the Crick Crack Science Live Show featuring women in science: zoologist Amy Deacon, translational scientist Nikesha Gilmore, and US-based science illustrator Nicolle R. Fuller. The episodes discuss topics such as biodiversity, women and girls in science, cancer research, and art and science as a career.
​
​According to festival organisers, the hybrid event, with its mix of online and in-person experiences “promises to bring greater public awareness and understanding of advancements in science, technology, and innovation, its impact on our everyday life and well-being, and its vital role in promoting economic prosperity, social progress, and environmental sustainability.”
 
UpComms PR founder Valene Mc Dougall says, “we are very proud and excited to collaborate with NIHERST in one of—if not—the largest science festivals in the Caribbean region.”
