Brainstorm

We are a new, free, online #science mag created to uplift YOUR voices. Do you want a platform to talk about your specialism; research; or even share your opinion on a topical issue? Visit our website for more info. Let's #Brainstorm. brainstorm-magazine.com

@AcademicChatter I often see students who have a perception they are lagging behind but when I checked their ability they were exactly where they should be! You shouldn’t know it all yet (and never will) and others often seem more capable than they really are. Keep learning and improving!

Anonymous Question "1st year PhD student in social sci. I struggle with statistics and feel I'm lagging behind with these skills. Others (mostly) seem a lot more skilled, which doesn't help! Advice?"

@nanopharmNC Thought it was about a visit to the dentist??? 🦷 💉

Had an urge to get involved in #SciComm but not known where to start? @Brainstorm_eMag is a new online science magazine and are looking for enthusiastic early career #researchers who want to write #science articles. Check out our website for more details! #PhDLife #postdoc

@AgentFaithMD @SciCommClub @stemfirstgen Just discovered @stemfirstgen and think it’s a great initiative! I am thankful for a great #scicomm community on Twitter and for the opportunity to start @Brainstorm_eMag this year and for all the lovely people who have written articles so far! Excited for what’s to come!

Hallo @stemfirstgen friends! #Thanksgiving is this week, and we will have a short notice #SciComm edition to share the who's and what's you're thankful for. Comment below, and I'll feature your stories in an article (or you can always pitch a post)!

Has there ever been a more important time for scientists to communicate their research to the public in an engaging and clear way? #SciComm @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #science

@LTM_ISCHE I think public health agencies should be encouraging everyone to stop microwaving food in plastic containers and get plastic free water bottles 😊 two easy steps to limit exposure

@Brainstorm_eMag Great information! Thank you for letting us know!👏❤️

A recent study found #Phthalates (a #plastic chemical) in fast food. I thought it would be a good time to re-share our article about the dangers of phthalates on reproductive #Health #scicomm #science #plasticpollution #plasticfree brainstorm-magazine.com/2021/05/you-ar…

Any early career scientists want to get a shout-out or a feature on our website for their blog/podcast? Send us a DM or fill out our contact form. Looking for collaborations within the world of #scicomm #phdchat @AcademicChatter #phdlife #AcademicTwitter brainstorm-magazine.com/contact/

@MelissaVasi @PhDVoice @PhDfriendSana @AcademicChatter @PhDForum @AcademicDilemma You could write the blog in a much less formal (fun) way - making it more accessible to the public and less likely to cause issues of self-citing. You can also post to websites like Brainstorm to save you the time of creating your own blog. It's what we are here for!

I'm thinking of starting a blog. Could I publish extracts of my thesis,or of papers not yet published? What happens then to publish a paper in which extracts of the text are online in my blog? @PhDVoice @PhDfriendSana @AcademicChatter @PhDForum @AcademicDilemma #AcademicTwitter

See our NEW ARTICLE from @OceanSciPS on the Vietnamese Mekong Delta - Human activity drives salt intrusion in delta more than #climate change. #scicomm #SCIENTIST #ClimateEmergency brainstorm-magazine.com/2021/11/human-…

Find out why we set up a completely FREE science magazine. No pay walls. No subscription fee. Science written by real scientists. Why not check out some of our most recent stories and let us know what you think! #SciComm #Science brainstorm-magazine.com/about-us-free-…

Have you ever wondered - What if we get attacked by #aliens? Is it likely? Should we be prepared? Dr. Miljenko Cemeljic has a PhD in #Astrophysics and explores these questions in our most recent article. #scicomm #Space #UFO #ScienceWeek2021 brainstorm-magazine.com/2021/11/what-i…

You say the ocean's rising? Find out how scientists know in the article below. With #COP26Glasgow it's important to know how the scientists know #climatechange is real and sea levels are a crucial part of that. #science #COP26 #climate #ClimateEmergency brainstorm-magazine.com/2021/11/how-do…

Ever wondered how we measure #sealevels? Or why it's important? With #COP26 underway why not see our new article by @OceanSciPS who holds a PhD in Satellite Oceanography from Newcastle University. #scicomm #ClimateAction #climate #science #OceanforClimate brainstorm-magazine.com/2021/11/how-do…

Human animals have the ability to imagine alternative possible worlds. Is this a human-specific capacity or do chimpanzees also think about what could be? Across two preregistered studies, out today in @CurrentBiology, we find evidence that they do! Thread authors.elsevier.com/a/1dzYA3QW8Rwp…

@BoardroomBoy And this is in mice given a dose of "30 μg mRNA/dose (>300 times the human dose on a mg/kg basis)" Nice try at misinformation.

@BoardroomBoy It’s not misinformation. I am literally looking at the study right now. Do you disagree that the vaccines prevent hospital admissions and deaths in all age groups?

@BoardroomBoy The mouse trials used doses 300 times that used in humans. There has clearly, demonstrably been no effect on fertility in people.

@BoardroomBoy We have well over a years worth of data. That is considered long term. We know the risks of Covid-19 short term and way way more than side effects from the vaccine. And Covid-19 is much more likely than the vaccine to have long term effects. We already know it does. It’s balance

(1) A worrying trend in the UK shows vaccine uptake at an almost standstill for >18s. There are still over 5 million adults in the UK completely unvaccinated and this trend suggests they intend to stay that way.🧵on why you should get vaccinated! #Covid_19 #COVID19 #CovidVaccine

@jeremy_hume That’s a completely different argument. My argument is, get vaccinated to protect yourself and those around you. Simple. Irrelevant how incompetent those members of government are. I’m more concerned for the safety of people taken in by the anti-vaccine movement.
