Abstract
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has made breakthrough discoveries in
gravitational-wave astronomy, a new field of astronomy that provides a
different means of observing our Universe. Gravitational-wave discoveries are
possible thanks to the work of thousands of people from across the globe
working together. In this article, we discuss the range of engagement
activities used to communicate LVK gravitational-wave discoveries and the
stories of the people behind the science using the activities surrounding the
release of the third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog as a case study.
