An exceptional #gco2024 from an exceptional science leader #RobertLanger @MIT. Every success in scientific endeavour has a story and Dr Langer's is inspiring. Positive messages for any budding scientist. View it here bit.ly/3CKxxtX #bioengineering #impact #scicomm
Excited to announce #RobertLanger @MIT will deliver 2024 @GCO on 12 November. Superstar #scientist #entrepreneur #mentor will showcase key advances from his 40+ years at #MIT. Seats limited, registration is free bit.ly/2024GCO #bioengineering #therapeutics #innovation
Removing journalists as "gate keepers" of information, @ConversationEDU gives space for scientists to speak for themselves. Scientists then don't need to worry about being taken out context or distilling their message to 10 secs.
@Fronj talks about how this builds #TrustInBiomed.
The scientific process is a standard way of addressing a question.
Prof Pasricha @WEHI_research discusses how we hold researchers accountable to what they publish: journals scrutinising original images, uploading raw data to the web, & maybe even publishing fails. #TrustInBiomed
As a behavioural scientist, Dr Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA looked at #TrustInBiomed during COVID. Inadequate comms about how we developed vaccines so quickly when it usually takes longer, definitive answers when we were still learning, & politicising health contributed to distrust.
"It was a frightening time for all of us - clinicians, scientists & the public" - Prof Sant-Rayn @WEHI_research
But then, as we quickly sequenced the virus genome, rapidly generated data and learned more, he was excited to see the scientific community come together.
Our discussion of public trust in the biomedical sciences is now under way.
Dr Denise Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA, Prof Sant-Rayn Pasricha @WEHI_research & @Fronj address how we can instil #TrustInBiomed.

We're giving the public a unique chance to share their thoughts on how they view the biomedical sciences through a quick and completely anonymous survey. Your insights will set the stage for our important panel discussion on November 21st, examining trust in biomedical research.
Our rescheduled panel event #trust in #biomedicalresearch is on 21 November, 6.00pm -7.30pm AEDT. Join us in person or online with the panel - @Fronj, Denise Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA & Sant Rayn Pasricha @WEHI_research bit.ly/3LZlcEk #scicomm
Looking forward to be inspired by the career journey of @DrClareFedele and @CognitiveTx in our upcoming #WomeninBiomed webinar, 15 November, 2pm-3pm AEDT. @CSL @BionicsInst #WomeninSTEMM #Womeninscience #scicomm
Sorry to let you know we have had to cancel this event and will make an announcement soon about a new time...
Much has been said recently about #skepticism & #trust in #BiomedicalSciences, so we are going to examine this in some detail with our expert panel @liammannix, Denise Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA & Sant-Rayn Pasricha @WEHI_research 9 November, 6.00pm AEDT, bit.ly/3LZlcEk
Applying her skills and using technology is the most exciting aspect of being a clinical embryologist. @azelle_hawdon #siperbio @MonashTS @VicGovDE #scicomm
Now a clinical embryologist, @azelle_hawdon collects and prepares human eggs to create embryos for infertile couples @MonashTS @VicGovDE #scicomm #superbio
Moving from Perth to Sydney for further training, @azelle_hawdon undertakes @PhD on embryos at @ARMI_Labs. Developing skills in #communication was an important aspect of presenting to a diverse audience. #scicomm
