Another ep of this summer's Opinion Science (a podcast) #scicomm podcast series is here! This week I was super pleased to talk with Meryl Horn, a producer on the tip-top science podcast Science Vs. We talked about her story, communication tips, + how Science Vs episodes are made [1/3]

I've spent the past year on a passion project, asking: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What have we learned? What challenges do we face? And what's our plan? As I pull it all together into a book, I want to champion these 11 references:

🚨🚨🚨 Science alert! When Science Vs did our ep on blue balls, we were bummed to find so little research on the topic. So we did our own survey, which has now been written up as an academic paper by researchers at @QSexLab! 🎉🎉🎉 Spotify Podcasts 🎙 open.spotify.com/episode/5FTH9J…

🧵Our unit has been decimated by layoffs over the past year. It's left many of us feeling anxious about job security and the direction of the company. And yet NO ONE from Spotify management turned up to our first bargaining session in December...

Our unit has experienced its fair share of layoffs. So this Valentine's Day we're hoping Spotify agrees to our proposals to make the process more equitable, like giving us prior notice of layoffs and better severance for our members! 💚💚💚💚💚

It's coming down to the wire, Spotify. #FairContractNow

Our bargaining committee is meeting NOW to talk strategy! With hours to go until our contract expires and a strike pledge on the table, Spotify STILL aren't offering us above inflation pay increases. We won't accept proposals that devalue our members!!

🚨UPDATE🚨 Our unit is waiting to ratify our hard-won contract because Spotify STILL hasn’t given us its AI counters! The company has had MONTHS to come up with this language! Our contract expired LAST NIGHT. Stop dragging your feet Spotify!!!

🚨🚨🚨 BIG news! 🚨🚨🚨 Our unit and Parcast Union are becoming one super powerful amazing incredible union! Going forward, we will operate under our new name: Spotify Studios. Here's why:
