Such a delight to talk with @amybmollett a few weeks ago about the vibrant research community on social media - and to recall some of that 'early days' feeling when social media was a burgeoning platform. orinococomms.com/research-co… #ResearchCommspodcast

'Johnson to allow outdoor hugging from 17 May' is definitely one of those bizarro headlines that, had you seen it 18 months ago, would have been utterly baffling but now seems pretty standard. Strange times indeed!

🎙️ In the latest Research Comms podcast @DrDihal talks to me about what happens when existing narratives about #ArtificialIntelligence around the world conflict with the dystopian visions coming out of Hollywood. 🤖

Tune in to this interview with @LeverhulmeCFI SRF @DrDihal about @AI_Narratives project. @LeverhulmeTrust @TempletonWorld #AIEthics @OrinocoComms
The stories we tell about #ArtificialIntelligence and other emerging technologies matter because they shape how we perceive those technologies. And how we respond to them.

🚨 Biomedical science in the UK is facing an uncertain future after the pandemic put millions of pounds’ worth of #ResearchAtRisk.
💰 We’re calling for the Government to step in and support medical research charities before more cuts have to be made.

Hats off, and huge thanks, to @OrinocoComms for putting this film together. It was a challenging brief but the film is fantastic 👌
We're delighted to share some highlights from last year's festival in this short film.
Despite the challenges, organisers still found so many ways to reach out & engage with people across the UK and beyond. Huge thanks to everybody that made it happen! 👏

This is the reality globally. Science has provided the tools to end this pandemic, science from all over the world. Yet that science is only available to a very small number of countries. Science that is equitably accessible to the world is the exit strategy for all of us.
After weeks of tweaking and finessing the designs it's exciting to see #vEGU21 attendees finally enjoying the virtual space and videos that we created for this year's @EuroGeosciences General Assembly. Good luck to all involved and to everyone presenting their science!

Sadly the pause of J&J will likely create a tsunami of vaccine hesitancy Need to manage this risk right now. Messaging about pause needs clarity. Spillover fear to all vaccines risky. Huge challenge in face of ongoing covid plague

Covid-related deaths are down 35% and hospital admissions by 25% in the past seven days. This is continuing despite greater mixing since schools returned a month ago, so the protective vaccine effect is increasing bbc.co.uk/news/health-566639…
Data journalist @miriamquick on how creativity can flourish when you're forced to work within tight constraints.
Check out my interview with Miriam and data designer, @stefpos to hear about how they're pushing the boundaries of #DataVisualization.

This explainer from @voxdotcom is the best I've seen yet about #CovidVaccine efficacy rates and comparisons between the different vaccines.
The key takeaway: they're all very, very good. SO GO GET ONE!

Risk of healthy person dying as a result of general anaesthesia is 0.001%.
Risk of getting a serious blood clot as a result of AZ vaccine is 0.00017%.
Transforming complex data into stunning visualisations is an art form. This week on the Research Comms I speak with two brilliant #dataviz practitioners: @stefpos and @miriamquick.

🇺🇸🤠 It's been just over a year since we relocated to Austin TX. That move came at a challenging time what with the onset of a once-in-a-century global pandemic etc. but there's been a lot to celebrate too. So I wrote a post about it! 👇

I grumbled a bit about the latest (or second-latest? There are so many I lose track) AstraZeneca row. The one in the US. Why do we *care* what the trial said, when there is data from literally millions of Britons vaccinated with it? unherd.com/thepost/the-us-as…
