Positionality isn’t a statement you write once. This paper compares fieldwork in Lagos and London to show how trust, access and identity shift between settings, and why shared identity doesn’t settle the politics of fieldwork. ethicsresource.ringsgenderresearch.org/resource/bey... #SciComms

Over in smaller biology courses, Stanley Lo has students collaboratively draft pieces for a journal aimed at middle school / high school students. Pick a topic, engage the research literature, do the scicomms.

Yep, they're doing more writing in biology courses than in writing courses. #AACUAI

Recent SA editor Laurie Helmuth trumpeted the ”It’s never aliens..” line in her Knight Science Journalism handbook targeted to, and with reach to, to all scicomms editors & writers.

Implementation science in the Global South isn’t automatically decolonised. It depends on who sets the agenda, owns the data and defines the outcomes. This review proposes a four-pillar framework for shifting power. ethicsresource.ringsgenderresearch.org/resource/bui... #SciComms #Decolonisation

The thing is that like the negative takes from urbanists tore into NEOM extremely hard, meanwhile the main scicomms people bent over backwards to be nice to the direwolves

I look forward to hearing you reflections on scicomms from convos you had at the conference. I am headed to a research tech conference next week in Melbourne, and I imagine some synchronicity!

Who holds authority over how global health stories are told through images? These ethical photography guidelines, developed with young people from Khayelitsha, ask photographers, funders and publishers to reflect on power, consent and representation. tinyurl.com/5t2zz9t3 #scicomms #decolonisation

Going to be posting old videos on Shorts over on YouTube from time to time.

The countdown to getting content stricken is on (maybe, who knows, am I manifesting this?).

i just attended a drink and draw at RiffRaff and now i'm a cartoon character.

somehow this is part of my journey from classroom teaching to visual scicomms!

Using AI to write a peer review breaks confidentiality, accountability, and IP protection in one action. ~21% of ICLR 2025 reviews were AI-generated. Authors are now embedding prompt injections to game it. This editorial makes the case for why reviewers must stop: tinyurl.com/mwuru7yu #SciComms

The #politics of #scicomms and the #ipcc reports. This is not a new tactic - such interference started to gather steam after #UNCHE in 1972 and has just migrated to the IPCC. Presumably, #IPBES is the next port of call www.theguardian.com/environment/...
IPCC is under pressure to delay publication of key global climate report
AR7 report was scheduled for 2028 in time for Cop33 summit but some petro-states and major developing countries want to postpone it

Important in health care but also in politics. Copy the style of those you wish to defeat! #scicomms - #auspol - theconversation.com/a-new-study-...
A new study finds that to counter misinformation online, we need to copy its style
How do you get reliable information to someone who isn’t looking for it? New research using Facebook ads suggests a change in language makes a big difference.

Communicating the importance of science and research can be difficult, but it’s critical. Here’s @jonesforar.bsky.social on the topic during our interview … #scicomms #standupforscience

NEW 📚. Participatory research projects don't end when funding does. This paper introduces three concepts - entangled temporalities, endy moments, and afterlives - to help researchers think through endings more carefully and ethically. ethicsresource.ringsgenderresearch.org/resource/end... #SciComms

Does trust in science depend on what you get out of it? Why is climate science so low? Some important conversations to be had re #scicomms and trust -

In this @statnews.com op-ed, Dana Foundation President Caroline Montojo and Greenwall Foundation President Michelle Groman highlight projects their foundations are funding to explore the many factors that shape trust in science and how it can be built and sustained.

#neurosociety #scicomms
Restoring public trust in science doesn’t have a simple solution. That’s OK
“Messaging can’t substitute for the relational infrastructure needed for building and sustaining trust,” write Michelle Groman and Caroline Montojo.

It's not a data deficit, it's a compelling narrative deficit - #scicomms - www.nature.com/articles/d41...
El Niño goes viral — and scientists learn what makes people care about the climate
Evoking emotions is more likely to prompt people to engage with climate efforts than are data alone.
