A story is an account of events with a beginning, middle, and end, about characters experiencing conflict. #AAASmtg #scicomm

One of my favorite and simultaneously least favorite things about #scicomm is that there's no glass ceiling - there's always room to improve! #AAASmtg

Scientists think they're really good at communicating with their peers, but the truth is that their peers just have a higher tolerance for boredom than others. @allison_coffin #AAASmtg

Dr. Shirley Malcolm on "preaching to the choir" about #equity in #STEM: There's a need for the choir to sing louder. There's a need for the choir to sing the same tune. #AAASmtg

"The key is to lean into our humanity and what connects us" @GildaBarabino at #AAASmtg offers a reminder very relevant to #scicomm and other situations where we might need to manage conflict

@SheevaAzma @fancycomma Agree with the above: analogies & metaphors are great for this - but can be hard to develop! When possible, workshop your analogy with both an in-field audience to check accuracy (accepting that all have limits) and an out-of-field audience to check understandability

#SciComm friends: What are your tips to better explain mechanisms of action of various substances acting in the body? Any tips? Kind of a niche question for the biomedical SciCommers out there, but I'd appreciate any input!

Petition to normalize the use of "fortnightly" in the US for meetings that happen every 14 days instead of the ever-confusing "biweekly"/"bimonthly" or the verbose "every other week"

@FromTheLabBench I often get asked "Where do I look for scicomm job postings?" I have some answers/thoughts, but this still doesn't seem to be a simple question to answer
