Francesca Tuazon,

Francesca Tuazon empowers professional scientists and engineers to communicate with confidence, clarity, and authenticity as they advance into leadership and decision-making roles. With nearly 15 years of experience supporting the scientific community, she founded Science&, an innovative organization dedicated to bridging the “hidden curriculum” of untaught professional skills that often limit advancement in STEM fields.

Through Science&, Francesca and her team teach the visual, written, and verbal communication of data—while fostering resilience, authenticity, and a sense of belonging. Backed by data showing that over 90% of professional scientists wish they had more communication training, Science& uses an arts-based approach and universal design-for-learning framework to create inclusive, engaging, and transformative educational experiences.

Driven by a deep passion for helping scientists succeed, Francesca’s work builds both skill and confidence—equipping diverse STEM professionals to lead, inspire, and make an even greater impact on the world.
