Thanks to @cogsmsu for putting on an awesome fall welcome cookout! ((And treating me to a night of wine & paints))
Today I got to demo an aspect of my research to congressional staff members who were SO excited to hear about nose to brain delivery. Enthusiastic nods and smiles from the audience are my favorite (!!!) part of SciComm.
What fields your scicomm spirit? 👩🔬🗣️

We are having #scipol lunches at @michiganstateu this Fall! They will be every other Thursday at the engineering building room 3540. We will start with what is policy and then grow from there. We hope to see you all there!

Great info, pin this thread if you're into #SciComm!
Hi everyone! Today I @WhySharksMatter am going to talk about some of the #SciComm strategies I use: specifically, #SharkWeek live commentary, tweeting from from conferences, and my weekly “ask me anything” sessions on twitter! (Here I am with a massive sharpnose shark)

This is what #scicomm is, really. But the joke is that scientists think facts change minds. You could replace GMOs with any topic, pro- or anti-. We all have beliefs, biases, and values that define what facts matter to us.
Facts don’t change minds.

I find that I strongly prefer to use gender neutral terms like “parent” instead of “mother/father” and “spouse/partner” instead of “husband/wife.”
I feel like these are more inclusive and push back against gender biases, stereotypes, and expectations. Anyone else do this too?

Our international senior fellows are busy little bees this summer over in Europe! To start things a-buzzing, they attended Soapbox Science Munich and the Munich Science Slam presentation skills workshop! Read more on our blog! 🐝👨🔬👩🔬

I'm teaching 1st-year grad students about cell migration tomorrow. This is the first movie they will see. An immune cell hunting down a bacterium among red blood cells. Movie credit: David Rogers. #CellBiology

What you need to be a physicist:
- An interest in physics
- A desire & ability to learn math & physics
- The grit to get through difficult times in your career
What you don't need:
- To be a genius
- A large ego
- Unwavering belief that you are "cut out to be a physicist"

Saw this recently. Great way to think about which circle you find yourself in today!

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).
