Thank you @KingstonECE
for the recent #SciComm Award! 🌟This was in recognition of the work completed last year at the Esri User Conference presenting my PhD chapter as the @esriuk Young Scholar. Thanks again
@esriuk for the opportunity that led to this! 🌎🙌

Entomological piñata! This piñata, shaped like a kissing bug (Trypanosoma cruzi, the species that transmits Chagas disease) was part of a piñata contest and it won (of course!). 😍😍 #entomology #SciComms

The elements of #scientific style – Scientific papers are dense, jargon-filled, and painful to read. It wasn’t always this way – and it doesn’t have to be #science #SciComms #communication #writing

Paying to play – Professional academic communication should be factored into research funding.

My latest article for The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on how funders and academics need to think more about costing for research communications, impact actives and #PublicEngagement

Fabulous animation on the science behind clinical research, and the importance of not ignoring ethnic diversity of the world’s population.

@kburke Thank you for providing great #SciComms content!

I'm just glad I finally got lists working. Bonus part is, I can set each list to "reply only to members of the list" - which means my foodie/wine server's local feed isn't full of my plague-related replies. Everybody wins!🙂

It has definitely already had a tangible benefit for me; I had no idea the Israel study of the bivalent booster had such a positive outcome.

Gives me a bit of breathing room, regards my elderly mother with COPD, who is contraindicated for Paxlovid. 86% reduction in sickness or death for 65+ who've had the bivalent!

Of course, that would never have gotten boosted or amplified on the avian droppings container.

@adminkirsty I hadn't seen some of these folks before, or didn't know that they had Masto accounts now. Thanks for the additions to my #CovidFollows! #covid #covid19 #scicomms

#introduction

Hi I'm Kate. I'm a #PR and #communications specialist, dealing with #scicomms around global-level challenges. I do it because I have BIG FEELINGS about the future we're collectively heading towards in terms of #climate, #policy, #equality, #health etc.

In my personal life I love cooking, my 3 cats, and acting with/contributing to my local #AmDram scene.

I'm hoping to find a network of like-minded people to discuss all this with, and build my mastodon skills for what's next.

@cfiesler Hi Casey! Nice to meet you. I also come from a #SciComms background.

With so many new folk, time to do another #introduction. I'm an #SFF #writer & also write non-fiction memoir & essays. I double as a #Communications Director & have worked in #SciComms for over 10 yrs. A politics junky, with a keen interest in #auspol & #uspol & you can hear me on the radio on ABC Melbourne every three weeks on their Spin Doctors program, where I talk about the latest spin winners & losers. I'm also an #improviser, & have an improvised #TimeLord show coming up in April!
