This looks to be a pretty interesting #study, but not interesting enough for the general public I guess since the reporter felt the need to abruptly add #Martians to the discussion. lol Apparently #science isn't science if it's not about #space.

Please consider signing this petition to protest the Swedish 🇸🇪 government's decision to axe funding for #development research, which was taken without any consultation with the academic community and threatens vital research and cooperation on #sustainability & #poverty reduction

I love science reporting.

The scientist: “Planetary engulfment has been predicted for a very long time, but their frequency was not well known… So it was certainly exciting to realize we had found one.”

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

So thrilled that our Vienna international #scicomm club invited the creative minds behind the Austrian #Alexandria science magazine.

So exciting to see these people create an exciting space for magazines & science writing, especially in this era and economy. Extra exciting that their first principles emerge from the philosophy, sociology, and theory of science.

Vandaag geef ik weer les Bronnenselectie en -onderzoek aan studenten www.wetenschapsjournalistiek.nl. We starten om 10 uur en de les eindigt om 14.15 uur. Zin in!

@theresluethi

Thanks for highlighting this thread! I agree with most aspects mentioned.

An important additional factor, though, is that some of the #Scientists tend to oversell their results to their comms department as well. Because they need visibility to move forward in their careers? Comes down to the incentives of our research system, I guess. And, speaking from experience, not every scientist easily accepts if the comms dep doesn't push their paper 😉

I realize this might be a terrible way to decide what scientific research to cover, but...

... if I read a study and I can think of a headline or lede that includes a pun, I pitch it. 😅

Science journalists: collect 'em all!

Here are three to start.

@ianrosewrites
@JenLucPiquant
@Trailanderror

Of @JenLucPiquant:

"...hired by the American Physical Society after they found out that it was easier to teach physics to people who knew how to write than to teach writing to people who knew physics."

An acute observation that can be generalized.

People who slice and dice academic reports and serve up tasty and nutititious treats for our average brains.

Can low-flying satellites, lasers and other new tech help bridge the #digitaldivide? And when is tech not enough? This is my latest story for Science News Explores #techequity #internet #ScienceJournalism #scienceforkids #scienceeducation

@athenamedia Hey Helen, I was just passing by but you need # for people to see this outside of this time zone.

Assuming that you want that I'd suggest:
#ClimateResearch
#CarbonBrief
#TootPapers
#TheClimatePapers
#AthenaMedia
#HelenShaw

Which should help a bit!

Are you also a #journalist ? 😀 Or more of a #Science journalist? Is #ScienceJournalism a thing? Apparently!

Are you a teacher or student interested in how #ChatGPT will impact #education ? I want to talk to you for a news story! Especially if you are in middle school or high school education. #AI #literacy #aiethics #ScienceJournalism #teachers

🚨 #ScienceJournalism #fellowship deadline alert! 🚨

Not sure what hashtag #ScienceMastodon #science #ScienceWriting #SciComm uses, but the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship application is due on Monday.

This fellowship changed my life by giving me a summer of throw-you-in-the-deep-end journalism experience in the middle of my PhD. If you're a science or engineering student/recent grad, this could be you!

Contact me with any questions, and please apply:

You probably already know that #microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment. But you may not have read this latest paper from researchers at the University of Auckland - it quantifies and identifies the microplastics found in the city's air. It paints a worrying picture. So I interviewed the lead author and wrote all about it for Forbes. Please have a read: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriewinkless/2022/12/15/tonnes-of-airborne-microplastics-drop-onto-cities-every-year/ #science #scicomm #sciencejournalism
