“Science is not finished until it’s communicated”

Sir Mark Walport, UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser

We are science communication specialists who work with researchers and global development organisations to amplify research and ensure that scientific evidence drives positive changes in policy, practice, and research.

For more than 15 years, and through a blend of strategy, editing, data visualisation and training, we have effectively supported numerous donor-funded, multi-partner research initiatives, particularly in the Global South, to communicate for impact and drive evidence-based action.

We offer three core science communication services.

We develop communication and knowledge-sharing strategies that amplify research and ensure it meets the needs of key audiences. 

We work closely with our clients to develop and implement impact-oriented communication strategies, ensuring that communication is goal-oriented and tailored to the specific needs of key target audiences.

With core experience in writing, editing, and design, we develop communication products that bring research to life. 

We use narrative-focused writing and editorial skills to develop articles, briefs, and reports that are solutions-oriented, compelling, and tailored to the needs of key audiences. We use data visualisation and design to produce a wide range of engaging communication outputs including infographics, information and policy briefs, reports, media articles, websites, and general marketing material. 

Where appropriate we explore novel communication products and activities that are well suited to the particular needs of key audiences.

Text featuring the word 'Capacity' paired with a picture of a spanner.

We are leading providers of science communication training globally, strengthening researchers’ capacities to communicate their work more effectively with non-specialist audiences.

Working together with Human Element Communications we have trained over 400 researchers from institutions such as UNEP, FAO, and various universities to communicate with clarity and confidence. audiences.

Why work with us?

  • “Dr. Hoffman and Mr. Bosworth [from Human Element Communications] and made every effort to ensure that the science communication training course they produced was up to UNEP’s quality standards. They are an excellent team that is highly flexible and client-oriented.”

    Andrea Hinwood, Chief Scientist, United Nations Environment Programme

  • “Tali (Honeyguide’s Director) is probably the most impressive science communicator I have ever had the fortune of working with. She has a unique (and rare) ability to fully grasp research findings, understand the methods and associated uncertainties behind these, and then communicate the findings in a wide variety of innovative formats and to different kinds of audiences.”

    Georgina Cundill Kemp, Senior Program Officer, International Development Research Centre (IDRC)

  • "The multi-layered science communication strategy that Tali (Honeyguide’s Director) developed for our organisation helped us to understand how to have real impact on our key audiences, and how to achieve this impact given our small team and funding limitations. She helped us play to our strengths and was a real pleasure to engage with."

    Nicoli Nattrass, Co-Director, Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa

  • “Tali (Honeyguide’s Director) is able to translate research into messaging that is powerful and understandable to the layperson, but that maintains scientific integrity. This is especially important for our fundraising campaigns, as evocative and accurate messaging helps our donors to better connect with our work and inspires their ongoing support.”
