It's the Hull Science Festival today! I'm at the supercomputing stand with my cool demo now in WILB-LR22 until 1pm BST!

Double post today, but I also recorded a quick video of my #demo for the hull science festival and uploaded it to YouTube:

The plan is to show how AI models understand natural language.

A PeerTube account is on the todo list, but I want to host that myself and I need to wrangle my infrastructure into order first.

People who have created a fediverse account for your lab: how did you decide on a server?

We want to share our research updates with a lab account, but there are so many considerations to make regarding moderation, federation, donation, visibility, etc etc 🫨

So. No longer a #librarian on the off chance someone's following for that. I'll always be an information scientist, cause I paid out the ass for that degree, but I'm now a #socialist in a department of one (how do I keep my labor organizing going??) doing community outreach and engagement for a big state research university. Anyone else doing #CommunityEngagement work in higher ed?

Allez j'ai fini mon rapport en retard.. Vu que c'est une journée ou j'échange sur la physique apparemment, je profite de la fin d'après-midi pour reposter un bout de thread sur l'utilisation des harmoniques sphériques en physique, et plus spécifiquement dans le contexte de la cosmologie, qui était passé en privé #astrodon #outreach 🧵

Great job needing strong mix of admin skills supporting fabulous work - #conservation #urbanwildlife #outreach #education #Deptford

I know we’re not supposed to talk about money but, man, it’s expensive to do #SciComm or #Outreach.

This year I will earn $14,000 for being a part-time #PhD student, even though it takes up tonnes of my time. Scholarships and a bunch of contracting and internships might get me up to another ~$40,000 but also give me months of health issues from lack of sleep, trying to work ~full-time on top of a PhD.

This August (#ScienceWeek month) I will do about 16 days of events on top of my normal work, which combined will likely take me over 100 hours to prepare for. I have never been paid to speak at an event, and they typically don’t offer any stipend even when I have to spend hundreds of dollars renting a car or staying in hotels around Tasmania.

Science outreach is so important to me; I love Tasmanian, community-focused efforts to uplift people into higher education and STEM. I give freely as much as I am able to. And everyone involved in organising events are doing their best with what they have….

…but this might honestly be the last year I can afford it if I don’t manage to turn it into an actual job. Expecting scientists (especially grad students) to do both is getting totally infeasible.

New account, new #introduction post! Hi, I’m Deanna (they/them) 👋 . I'm a postdoc at the Helsinki Institute of Physics working on #DarkMatter and #GravitationalWaves. I love science #outreach and I’ve been doing #cosmology livestreams - called #CupOfCosmology - since late 2015 (link in bio). I also often talk about my struggles with #MentalHealth in #academia, and my experience as #LGBTQInSTEM and as a (perceived) #WomenInSTEM.
I love meeting new people, so feel free to follow and interact!

Today I took a relative to the Psychiatric Urgent Care at Sheppard Pratt, outside Baltimore. Worth the long drive. Can’t sing enough praises for this place… What an amazing concept! She was provided with choices; left feeling empowered and hopeful for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend #MentalHealth #Outreach #WrapAroundServices

Prepping my astronomy box of tricks for the Underneath the Stars festival this weekend. I popped my inflatable Universe!!! 🫣😳 #astronomy #outreach #festival #yikes #utsf2023

Hey folks! What is your music platform of choice? Let me know and I will link you to my tracks if they're there! #music #outreach

He also investigates how to reduce conflicts between #NatureConservation and #RenewableEnergies. The findings and recommended actions for practitioners in Germany will soon also be available in Natur und Landschaft! #Outreach #ScienceCommunication

Yay Comet Chasers and linking to DART + planetary defence. Very cool project that manages to reach multiple audiences in multiple languages #NAM2023 #Astronomy #PublicEngagement #Outreach #SciComm

Fantastic talk from Chemaine Barrett on LEGO satellite building workshops! Now: Chris North on multimessenger astronomy in the classroom #NAM2023 #Astronomy #Outreach #PublicEngagement #SciComm

Sonification & #PublicEngagement require multi-skilled team including co-creation with BVI people. Girdhar played a sound sample for us with stars - it was really soothing #NAM2023 #Astronomy #Outreach

Next: Eleanor Macdonald from @kielder_obs talking about #outreach at Kielder and how folks can get involved #NAM2023
