The world needs to know science, but few scientists get opportunities to learn how to share their science with our world. @ScienceHaven is helping to improve science in higher education by holding top institutions accountable for producing education-centered scientists.

These are the ideas that drive our mission, @solarrsystem!

I really believe that all STEM majors should be required to take a science writing class as well as an ethics class. What is the point of science if you can't communicate about it to the public or can't ethically do it?

Our scientists are spending over 10 years receiving training on how to conduct scientific research but 0 hours spent in how to communicate the important science learned to non-scientific audiences or those with different worldviews. We absolutely must change this.

BA in physics + MS in medical physics + PhD in medical physics = 11 years in higher education and 0 time formally devoted to this 😩

Higher education institutions must work harder to bridge the gap between science and the public. We demand these opportunities for our scientists. #sciencehaven

In a time where climate change is still being debated by our top national officials, we absolutely cannot afford to continue producing scientists who are studying our climate but don't know how to communicate their science. Absolutely unacceptable. This must change. #sciencehaven

My BSc and MSc in Atmospheric science did not include a formal education in arguing about climate change 😆. Also I am a trained science illustrator and designer (graduate certification) and would love to work with you on visual scicomm

Stories like these are the stories that drive Science Haven's mission of changing higher education culture. We cannot afford to keep telling our scientists that learning how to share science is a waste of time. Please follow us for more updates on our mission. #sciencehaven
