'Numbers don't *describe* reality, they *create* reality.'

The talk from Ulrike Felt about (dis)agreement was filled with great oneliners and scientific insights ('often presented as facts', as Felt put it). #pcst2023

Sounds delicious for both brain and belly 🧠 😋 (as spotted at #PCST2023 )

Today @alexverkade presented our plan for the Dutch National Centre of Expertise on Science & Society to minister Dijkgraaf during #pcst2023. I am so excited for this to actually happen!

#scicomm

Prof @ionica says a survey showed 21% of Dutch citizens would like to be strongly involved in scientific research and only 2% actually are. The #scicomm community has work to do #PCST2023

Sonya Pemberton gave an amazing keynote at #pcst2023 on making movies about science that use communication theory, emotions and humor – movies that are rigorously tested and evaluated.
