Biography

Jenny Kliever has a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Guelph and a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication from Laurentian University. She has held communications roles at SNOLAB, the Canadian Association of Physicists, and the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology. Jenny started her own science communication business in 2019, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, working with clients in Europe, South America, and North America to increase the visibility of their research and boost its impact on society. Jenny’s PhD studies will explore how the media has portrayed physics discoveries throughout history, especially those also of interest to religious communities, such as the discovery of the Higgs Boson – or “God Particle”. She is also interested in studying how scientific topics have been presented to children in public and religious schools in North and South America, examining differences in culture, economy, and language as a driver of communication and public opinion about science and religion.
