The LingComm Grants are back!

These grants started in 2020, as "hey let's help get lingcomm projects going during lockdown"

They've since run in 2022 and 2024, and thanks to generous folks we've always given out more than expected

But they only work if people apply!!! Please share this!!

I'm giving a talk about #linguistics communication with broader audiences at #lingstitute in a few weeks and I may have somewhat ambitiously titled it "101 ways to do lingcomm"

So far I have 84 types of projects... anyone have examples of unusual #lingcomm or #scicomm projects I might have missed?

Also very relevant for #lingcomm
Don't be one of those people who put a bunch of time and effort into a fancy broader impact thing and have it fall apart once the grant is over.

Not everything has to be permanent, but if it's supposed to last, then make sure it does.

This is not an article about epoxy river tables.

I mean, it is. But it's not. But it is.

Or maybe it isn't.

When we started @lingthusiasm.com, we benefitted from grad school funding that let us cover a few startup costs, and we recognize that not everyone has those resources

That's why in 2020, @superlinguo.bsky.social and I started the LingComm Grants, to help up-and-coming linguistics communicators

Post election, I've been trying to report more on the decline of trust in institutions. Obviously the media's crisis is part of this. Last week, I came across a paper from @juliaangwin.com that looks at how creators build trust w/ their audiences & I called her up. Lots of good lessons here, imo
