Your research deserves a room bigger than the one you're in.
You've spent years building expertise that most people will never fully understand. The question isn't whether your work matters. The question is whether the right people know it exists.
Apply for The Authority Lab →The scientists who get the funding, the speaking invitations, the collaborations, the policy seats at the table, they're not always the most rigorous researchers in the room. They're the ones whose work travels. They've learned something most scientific training never covers: how to make their voice as precise and compelling as their methodology.
That's exactly what The Authority Lab teaches.
The Authority Lab is an invitation-only coaching program. You work directly with me in a curated international group of scientists who are serious about building their platform. Every session is focused on your science, your story, and the platform you're building. Not generic frameworks. Not pre-recorded modules. Direct creative guidance from someone who has spent a career at the intersection of rigorous science and public communication.
This is for scientists across disciplines. Hard sciences, social sciences, humanities. Researchers who need to reach funders, collaborators, and policymakers. Scientists who want their work to matter to a general audience that actually cares. Whether you're launching your first podcast or fixing one that stopped growing, the methodology is the same.
I'm Lucina Melesio. After graduating in Physics from UNAM I founded the Science Communications Unit at the Instituto de Física at UNAM, then spent two years at the Publishing branch of the Institute of Physics of England as Latin America Account Manager working with the most important universities and physics associations across the continent. I hold an MSc in Science Media Production from Imperial College London as a Chevening Scholar and an MA in Journalism from CUNY Graduate School of Journalism as a Fulbright Scholar. I've reported for The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Scientific American, Physics World, and the BBC. With the company I founded, Kizaya Studios, I built Un Poco de Contexto, which became Mexico's #1 news podcast on Spotify. We currently produce Pasado Presente for El Colegio de México, one of Latin America's most prestigious academic institutions, and BirdNote en Español, the Spanish version of BirdNote, a non-profit dedicated to bird conservation awareness worldwide.
I've spent a career learning from the best newsrooms in the world how to make science matter to a general audience, and years inside the most demanding academic and media institutions learning how to make it travel. That combination is exactly what I bring to every scientist inside The Authority Lab.
If this sounds like where you want to be, I want to hear from you.
