Did any of you know that the #FakeNews fighter called KnowledgeWorthy.org is coded out of Macedonia, the home of Fake News?

Q for #scipolicy #scicomm advocates: Why don't more scicommers care about scalability? [a] Scalability is unimportant or irrelevant to scicomm. [b] Scalability isn't something we should be focusing on right now. [c] Scalability is best left for private enterprise. [d] Other

We want to create a new hashtag #scalablescicomm... Wonder whether it will have legs!

A lot of talk about crafting engaging #stories in #scicomm... Thing is: you don't have to make up fake emotional stories to engage an audience, if, umm, the research is about a topic that affects them, in the first place! But that requires actually preferring to do that research!

@Iya_Hakky might appreciate this tweet?

Does anybody get the sense that any of the anti-science sentiment found these days stems (PNI!) from an anti-tech stance and a wish for simpler, more "human" times? #scicomm

And guess what? Facebook announces today that they have an idea similar to what we envisioned last year and already have up now live at KnowledgeWorthy: Let the public rate the value of knowledge! #scicomm #socscicomm #peerreview #smartcities money.cnn.com/2018/01/19/tec…

Somebody should do some research on whether the lack of a "dislike" button imposes onto people to click "like" or ♥ when they don't really actually like something... and whether that has changed peoples' tastes/concept of what's (un)ethical... /1

A bit disturbing when there's news about disasters and it's hard to make sense of how it's possibly likeable or ♥-able... and yet there they are: thousands of likes and ♥'s. /2

KnowledgeWorthy.org proudly announces that we have now integrated chat functionality onto our website. Rate articles & then PM other users as you discover that they have the same taste in knowledge as you! #scicomm #peerreview #science #socscicomm #smartcities #stillinbeta

What about students offering "laypeople versions" of abstracts of published research? Is this going too far? Serious question. x.com/saguaromelee/s…

If you have any interest at all in research into #peerreview, #peere2018 is one to watch this week: PEERe conference, Rome, 7-9 March

KnowledgeWorthy visits @colderbaek and the office of @pluto_network on Friday. What are the problems and trends that deserve the most attention by today's existing startups in #peerreview, #scicomm, #citizenscience and #openscience? Help RT!

Anybody have ideas about how effective #scicomm would differ from any kind of effective #socscicomm? Or why #socscicomm gets so little airtime?
