You’ve got great tools, services, or ideas — but not enough people know about them? Let’s fix that.
Join our OSPARK workshop in Aachen on Aug 29, and learn how to promote your Open Science initiative or research support service. No marketing experience needed- just your mission & curiosity.

Do you remember when the old place was great for #ScienceComm?
Anyway, as it was world #Zoonoses day yesterday, the message bares repeating.
Do not kiss your dog - for both your sakes.
And keep up to date with your
vaccinations FFS.
New events by #GCPostdocNetwork: https://goettingen-campus.de/postdoc-event
Organised for researchers across the Campus and everyone welcome. Postdoc Socials tomorrow (Thur 3 April) and 8 May. Or check out the #ScienceComm meet-up on 11 April, then join researchers on a Walk&Talk meet-up later that evening or on 16 May.

This whole thread feels like a good explanation of why #scicomm is important. If you send a research article directly at the general public, they're very likely to jump to all kinds of conclusions. Presumably, at least some of the people commenting have music grad school experience, but it doesn't seem to matter.

First day of a conference on #ScienceComm and social media at HumLab in Umeå, featuring @simonlindgren and @cfiesler, among others.
Lots of great stuff, such as @cfiesler's suggestion to write short blogs about one's own papers, both for outreach and for busy colleagues.
As I don't have a blog, I'm thinking of using Mastodon for that (I couldn't find two-way integrated macroblogging for the Fediverse), linking the threads on my website.
It would be nice to hear alternative ideas, though!
Welche Rolle spielen Videos in eurer wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation? Nutzt ihr sie, um eure Forschung zu präsentieren oder ist das für euch noch Neuland? Falls ihr mehr wissen wollt, findet ihr bei der #TIB einen guten Einsteig: https://www.tib.eu/de/themen/wissenschaftliche-filme #TIB_AVPortal #FIDBAUdigital #ScienceComm
Wusstet ihr schon? Auf dem AV-Portal des FID BAUdigital findet ihr unter anderem spannende Videoserien, vor allem Konferenzaufzeichnung mit Präsentation neuester wiss. Erkenntnisse. Zum Beispiel vom DFG Symposium "Vision and Strategies for Reinforcing Additively Manufactured Concrete Structures" https://av.fid-bau.de/series/1084 - schaut doch mal rein! #ScienceComm #OpenScience #ConcreteStructures #FIDBAUdigital #TIB_AVPortal
That's very cool and I agree you're absolutely right in every detail.
Anyway, if you're using MicroblogFedi then you need scientists like say @petergleick or @kathhayhoe to see it and boost it. Which means that you need the thread to be # and in relevant groups.
This gives you short term and long term discoverability*.

Cool, accessible article over at #Aeon about the strangeness and complexity of atoms and their components, and how the popular idea that atoms are mostly empty space is problematic.
(The author mentions an episode of Cosmos in which Sagan says that, and which I remember vividly despite the decades in between)

For a second I thought "dating ice ages" was something else https://pca.st/episode/ed7b6093-bf8b-4ea1-851f-65b4aa997c0b

"...since there is no scientific concept behind the “spillover”, it might be dangerous to base public health and public protection against future pandemics on it."
This is not just a rant on semantics. Science communication must be precise, now more than ever. 1/2

@lulu_powerful so, now you'll have to define #likelihood for us, please?
Friends, when you post those cool (scary) screenshots of multicoloured weather (smoke) maps, don’t forget to put a link to the page/app in there somewhere…
Same for great astro photos (that aren’t yours), shocking (predictable) revelations on politicians, new scientific discoveries, etc. I like to engage, and I always want more.

Currently reading another book on quantum physics that I can’t recommend to my father because it’s full of references to memes that he won’t get, and will find either silly or confusing. Not the first time.
Something to consider when you are writing a pop sci book and you are trying to make it accessible to all.
This needs hashtags, any suggestions?

Warm invitation to join me at @force11 annual conference online in April https://force11.org/force2023/
Details of the program coming shortly, and it's an exciting line-up!
If you are in Munich on Friday and interested in science and crisis communication, in cooperation with the TUM Think Tank & the Munich Science Communication Lab I am organizing a brown bag lunch on perspectives from the Global South and North. Join us! #ScienceComm #CrisisComm #climatechange
"Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."
In the newest issue of my #sciencecomm newsletter, The Cassandra Dispatch, I focus on Carl Sagan's famous passage in his book Pale Blue Dot:
