Congress has upped its #conservation game by including pollinator-friendly roadsides in the #InfrastructureBillI. Research shows your backyard is great potential #pollinator habitat, too. How will you help? bendemoras.com/writing/did-yo… | #COMM3070

Listened to this @SciFri podcast about Dr. Tom Seeley’s new book, The Lives of Bees. So cool to hear why bees are surviving in the wild, but not in our hives. #savethebees one.npr.org/i/726983879:72…

@hlweinstein98 @ShoalsMarineLab Thanks!

Had a great couple of weeks @ShoalsMarineLab studying #SciComm! Gonna miss this place! #ShoalsStories

Loved hearing a published author's thoughts on the writing process. Hope to put some of what I learned into practice! #ShoalsStories

@ShoalsMarineLab's #SciComm class was lucky to learn from Alexa Brickett today! As @NHSeaGrant's Assist. Director for Comm., Alexa puts #SciComm into practice! She spreads @UofNH research using targeted communications, clear messages, and consistent branding. #ShoalsStories

Sounds like another promising #climatechange solution. We need more research in these areas!

@JohnKGII @UofNH And today's #whalewatch was NSWF! 🤣

Nice article by @NakedCapsid with 5 great #SciComm tips! Ties in with what we're learning at #SMLSciComm #ShoalsStories

“The most effective guard against climate breakdown may not be technological, but a fundamental reimagining of what constitutes a good life on this planet. ... So far our response to the challenge of climate change exposes a fundamental failure of collective imagination.”

Visited a tern colony on #WhiteIsland, where @ShoalsMarineLab has been helping operate one of the most successful tern restoration programs in the Gulf of Maine. Learn more here: benxd.me/writing/why-co… #ShoalsStories

Typically, I think it's best to avoid fear mongering. But do we have an option still? @grist makes a good argument based on #neuroscience

A recent study found that bees exposed to a neonicotinoid pesticide could fly just a third of the distance that unexposed bees can. e360.yale.edu/digest/neonico…] For more on the adverse effects of pesticides on bees, read our feature on glyphosate: e360.yale.edu/features/bee-a…

@ShoalsMarineLab, we've learned that scientists and the publics don't always think alike! In #SciComm, it's important to keep in mind who your audience is! [3/3] #ShoalsStories

Quick! When you see the word "driver," what's the first thing that comes to your mind? 🤔💭 [1/3] #ShoalsStories

Great stories about the #positive things being done in the Midwest, right now, to fight #climatechange

Hungry for some reading? Here's a #SciComm blog post about #mummichogs! They're a small fish that researchers have been studying @ShoalsMarineLab. Learn more here: benxd.me/writing/mummic… #ShoalsStories

@sensitivsci Find me on #AppledoreIsland and I’ll give y’all a demo of @diigo!

#diigo is an interesting tool to capture & annotate together online by @ben_393 #ShoalsStories 3/8

One of my favorite #SciComm class is when @myndwalk introduces conversationprism.com to the students. So many amazing digital platforms that can be used for #scicomm! But How?We ask our students to pick a platform & present it to the class . #ShoalsStories @ShoalsMarineLab 1/8

@myndwalk Cool! Funny how that happens

Did you see this @ben_393? It was just posted today at about when you were mentioning it! Interesting how persistent health myths can be... theatlantic.com/health/archive…
