Our colleagues at @Brains_On @APMStudios made an episode for kids about how people learn to read - and why it can be so hard. I hope you’ll listen and share it with kids in your life. Especially kids who’ve had a hard time w/reading. open.spotify.com/episode/0R2SeH…

@SarahBearchell @sophtalkssci @BIGchats I’m a Sci comm professional in the US. Do you think the BIG conference is geared to UK professionals or would it be applicable to people from all over? It looks amazing!

I'm really trying to focus on expanding my #SciComm skillset this year so I was curious... What is something that made you a better science communicator? It could be a course, a resource, some advice, a habit etc

Here are some other things I’d want a new-to-research teacher to check out. (I’ll keep this to short, free stuff that is super accessible, so no books.) I already shared 1, so we’ll start from there…🧵
