Find the whole playlist here & learn abt awesome women in history who did #SciComm AND learn abt their comm strategy. Hypatia of Alexandria would wear a cape, go to the streets & impromptu talk abt science & have ppl ask her questions! Now that’s some 1st class #Outreach work 🌟

This year I particularly appreciated the emphasis on building public trust in science (@sean_decatur), communicating science (@TheCosmicRey), and disability awareness and inclusive practices (@DisabledStem). & the alumni panel as always!!! 😊 I will miss these meetings!

I tweeted a tweet about Science! I read the article myself, and wrote the tweet myself and posted it myself. 🥹🥹🥹 I haven't been able to do anything like that for a year and a half. 😭 It only took me three days lol. But I did it.

@lady__Galadriel 😭😭😭😭♥️

Last week Dianna Cowern participated in an 11 hour livestream to raise money and awareness for #LongCovid. Dianna has suffered with long covid for 2 years - she is completely bedbound and totally unable to care for herself. This is her husband Kyle, writing on her behalf. During the livestream she did not talk to the audience, because she can’t. She can only lie flat in bed, have a few brief conversations each day, cannot toilet by herself, and must be in a dark room to avoid over-stimulation. It is torture. For many people, watching this livestream completely shifted their understanding of the disease. We also raised over $130K for research and clinical trials. By showing her life, we hope to raise awareness about how brutal long covid and other post-infectious diseases can be. My hope is that you can also use this content to push for more funding and accelerated treatment. We need help. She needs help. @SenDuckworth @timkaine @SenMarkey @BernieSanders @GavinNewsom #LongCovid #MECFS youtube.com/live/v8HWt9g4L…

@HuWantsToKnow @MassArt Yayy really looking forward to it 🌟

@TheCosmicRey @MassArt Most of my poster contents will be online soon! I’m working on a website showcasing the students’ comics, plus more information about the overall project. Thank you for your interest. ☺️

Presented about the Science Communication & Comics course @MassArt at #VisLang2024. Also had my pouch of zines 👀. Still early days for this project, so I was grateful for everyone's suggestions, questions, and enthusiasm!

@DaraaCodes Hooraaaaa ✨🌟🌈

Hey #PCST2024 attendees Please live tweet sessions for this FOMO-stricken SciCommer :”> TY #SciComm @PCSTNetwork

Got hacked by scammers and bots in a recent online survey after recruiting from Reddit. Over 4,000 responses became just 200 valid ones after a major data clean-up. These digital tricksters were craftier than anticipated. It's a new era of online scams (1/9).

Thank you @WildscreenFest for letting me nerd out about the science of #SciComm! To sciComm orgs out there, I’m always happy to discuss talking Sci of SciComm on your panels OR introduce you to the right people, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!

@ToriHerridge @WildscreenFest Thank you for the kind words Tori ^_^ ⭐️

I had a great day at @WildscreenFest yesterday, discussing how science and tv work together, & what we can do better. I was especially inspired by @TheCosmicRey, & the all-women power production panel on new Nat Geo series QUEENS (which looks awesome!). youtu.be/U9azic6W1U4?fe…

Hey y'all! I am excited to announce that I am offering workshops for scientists interested in improving their communication skills. These workshops are developed in collaboration with #scicomm researchers and experts to ensure they are evidence-based and practical.

From a few years ago...

Indeed! Congrats to these wonderful winners, who we’ll be working with on screenplay readings for First Look taking place mid-March. And to our dream jury, including @annakonk & @TheCosmicRey 🙏

We had a wonderful time celebrating the winners of the 2023 Sloan Student Prizes–Justine Beed & @LaraPalmqvist–last night, together with jurors @annakonk & @TheCosmicRey. Look forward to welcoming them back in March for First Look. 📸Rob Kim, Getty Images for MoMI

@soniasepstein @annakonk Thanks for having us ✨

@LaraPalmqvist @SloanFoundation Loved every word of it!

What a great honor to have been able to read these amazing scripts! Can’t wait to see the great narratives these storytellers will keep creating. Thank you @SloanFoundation for including me ✨
