@eniko Not really a joke (unless you are deep into the #scicomm bubble). Long-tail distribution are important to describe a LOT of stuff that happens around us, but at the same time defy common intuition, leading people to badly underestimate how little it takes to create huge disparity in outcome.

Vorlesungsfreie Zeit ist Zeit für Kompaktkurse!

Auch am Ende des Sommersemesters nutzen wir die Gelegenheit, #InformatischeBildung in Kompaktkursen anzubahnen, indem Erstkontakt zu informatischen Phänomenen und Artefakten ermöglicht und deren Einsatz im Sachunterricht diskutiert wird.

After a highly successful Science Under the Stars fundraiser for @westernsciencecenter on Saturday, today Max’s Mobile Museum #M3 is at Canyon Crest Elementary School in Fontana, California.

Does anyone have a nice example of a study on science communication using a hermeneutic approach?
#SciComm

I've just received a number of invites for Bluesky if anyone wants one. I'm happy to hand them over to anyone, but I'd particularly like to help #paleoart and #scicomm folks who are struggling in light of recent changes to Twitter's algorithm.

I've missed a couple of days as, well, weekend.Today's #SciArtSeptember word is lyrical, which immediately reminded me of this old cartoon from the early days of Matilda's Lab.

Finally worked out how to answer that perennial question that plagues every PhD pioneer…
"So, how's your PhD going…?"

I think I prefer A Capella Science -- perhaps just for the evolution themed song:

This #MinCup23 Round 1 Match 10 is a challenge for my pro-art or geophysics voting scheme. I don’t think there’s any strong art or geophysics reasons to vote for either one.

Adamite forms as secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of zinc- & arsenic-bearing hydrothermal mineral deposits & is fluorescent. But meh.

I’m tempted to vote for the weirdo guano-mineral. 🤷‍♀️ #scicomm

I guess now is your chance to sway me. Got a more compelling reason than sometimes bird poop can cause a new mineral?

@GossiTheDog Watch me document the death throes of "X" (and the nearly complete censorship of everything #SciComm-based that I post) here (login not necessary):

This is a really egregious one:
