#SciComs people out there, please help me out!!!
I've read somewhere that it's better to create your scicoms from a positive perspective (inspire folks, communicate with hope) rather than from a negative angle (scare folks, communicate with fear). What is the term for this principle? Source?

Hi! I am looking for a marine biologist or scientist who could confirm if the Reflectin protein is also expressed in octopus lamellae not only squid and cuttlefish?

Had a great evening with Oxford Mammal Group at @morethanadodo.bsky.social 🙂 #HistoryOfNaturalHistory #SciComs #PublicLecture #18thCStudies
Off we go, here's @stephholtnh.bsky.social about to talk to us about Gilbert White's take on mammals 🧪🦊

I was at the other place since almost the beginning and I have been mourning a loss of community for a while. Wonderful humans have convinced me to hop on over to the blue side. Looking for other #archaeology folks but also #womeninscience #pubarch #scicoms & #geospatial folks to follow. Hit me up!

500 followers, so time for an intro: Im a bat researcher into behavioural & community ecology. Birds (BSc), bees (MSc) & urban bats (PhD). Field training & scicoms. Grunge, alt-country, SF, dystopia. Minimalist, atheist, feminist. Chronic pain, mental health. Often in caves & forests. Please say hi!

Any (legitimate) criticism of Blue Origin aside, it's good to see an all woman crew launched on a rocket!
As a wean I was so buzzed following Helen Sharman's mission
Idiots told me I shouldn't have been, because it was a woman
In space SciComs- encourage girls!

Great work @climasillinois.bsky.social @prairieresearch.bsky.social 's @trentford.bsky.social! Nice #scicoms on @wbez.org www.wbez.org/curious-city...
When is it no longer ‘cooler by the lake’?
Lake Michigan holds a lot of weather power. It can be cooler, warmer or snowier than the rest of the city.

This took six months, and due to the way they had to push the retraction to 1 error, the retraction might not have addressed the core issues the archaeological community were appalled by, but it was the best way to achieve the full retraction #icap2025 #ethics #publishing #scicoms #pseudoarchaeology

neat. so many writers trade in junk sci inadvertently. #scicoms
The Problematic Paper Screener filters 130 million new and old scholarly papers every week, looking for nine types of clues that a paper might be fake or contain errors https://buff.ly/3CH61hm (@joelving.bsky.social @retractionwatch.com; @gcabanac.cpesr.fr, IRIT; Cyril Labbé, UGA)
Problematic Paper Screener: Trawling for fraud in the scientific literature
Science sleuths are stepping up efforts to detect bogus science papers. This includes building tools that comb through millions of journal articles for signs of tortured phrases spawned by AI.

Indeed. Good SciComs can only do so much. It's hard to blame the gardener when there are vandals planting knotweed every knight (if you'll forgive my slightly tortured metaphor)

Still think the strauňott fallaĉy covers it better. If they go peusudo-low, we invent gibberį§h as mental self defence. (I know, bigger man, SciComs, ethics in debunking...trying to be on the good side is tedious...🫡)
