Meet Brendon Bosworth

Hi, I’m Brendon, the principal consultant at Human Element Communications.

I work with researchers and organisations to turn specialist knowledge into accessible, impactful communication that connects at a human level.

I launched Human Element Communications in 2019 with the goal of making research on issues of global concern more accessible to non-specialists. I believe in the power of human connection to make facts and figures relatable and apply a solutions-oriented approach to all of my work.

I am committed to ensuring that research that contributes to solving global challenges reaches audiences beyond academic institutions, particularly in the African context.

My experience

My experience spans science communication training, writing, editing, communication strategy, and workshop facilitation.

I have worked with leading international organisations and institutes, including IDRC, UNEP, FAO, UN-Habitat, CARE, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Cape Town.

I provide thoughtful, high-quality communication support for complex, policy-relevant research. Focus areas include: climate change, sustainable development, One Health, public health, water, and artificial intelligence.

I am a Fulbright scholar and hold a master’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and a graduate certificate in Environment, Policy, and Society from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Science communication training

After years of interviewing scientists and then working with scientists to share their work, one of my main goals is to improve the quality of science communication. To do that, I run a science communication training programme with Dr Tali Hoffman.

We have trained close to 500 researchers from leading international development organisations and universities to communicate more clearly and think more strategically about their audiences and impact.
