Today marks the official release of 'Strategic #SciComm.' We hope it'll be useful. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
And the work is just beginning. There's so much more interesting thinking, research, and real-world testing to do.

I spent my spring teaching inclusive & strategic science communication to scientists across the country. It was a BLAST. If your organization, university, or conference is looking for scicomm-focused speakers, lmk. I'm booking my fall schedule now!

New #Strategic #SciComm paper. Key idea is that we can think about/study 'listening to improve' as a behavior.

Great paper.
Highly recommend John & Anthony’s book on Strategic Science Communication

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.

ALT Image of a flyer announcing science communication workshops by Maddie Sofia, PhD. There's a photo of Maddie in a black suit in the top right corner of the flyer. The central graphic has four workshop descriptions in green, blue, orange, and black text boxes. Inclusive Scicomm 101, working with journalists, strategy and goal setting, and scientific storytelling.
New paper: Faculty bios are low-hanging fruit for #scientists who want to help build #trust by sharing their pro-social motives. Let's update those bios!

Still eager to hear from colleagues headed to #AAASmtgs in Denver who have stories to tell about how their organization is trying to be strategic when it comes to #scicomm/#publicengagement.
I'd like to interview you for a research project (compensated). DM or email me, please!
Are you headed to the Denver #AAASmtg and have a story to tell about how your organization has managed to be #strategic when it comes #scicomm / #engagement? Would love to interview you for research project. DM or email me, please!

Really happy to be involved with this; @colognav and @nielsmede deserve a great deal of recognition for their leadership in making this massive project happen.
How do people perceive #science and its role in society? Do they #trust scientists? 🧑🏾🔬
We did a global 67-country survey (n=71,417) to test this, working with 239 researchers from all continents – the #TISP #ManyLabs study. It’s now available as #preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/6ay7s

We lost a towering figure and a generous soul with Jack McLeod’s passing. What an amazing and impactful career - a model of scholarly life for so many, and a mentor and inspiration to countless more. He will be missed, though his legacy is assured in the field and at the UW. 💜
Jack McLeod, Maier-Bascom Professor Emeritus and leader in political communication research, died January 28, 2024, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. He was 93. 🧵 buff.ly/48QRmuR
I continue to not love the 'translation' metaphor for #scicomm. I do not believe, in this regard, that people would agree with me and support me if they JUST understood my research.

🚨Episode out now!🚨
Scientists can be skilled at speaking clearly and storytelling BUT still make poor strategic choices when communicating science.
We chat about how to be strategic when communicating science with @JohnBesley from @michiganstateu

This week we chat to Prof @JohnBesley who is an active science communication researcher.
John had some great advice about how to make better strategic choices when it come to science communication.
Keep an eye out in your feed tomorrow!👀
