We learned so much from our conference on public engagement for basic science. We've captured major findings of those discussions in a Prospectus for our work going forward and now we need your help to review and chart our course together. Visit scipep.org/.../the-future… #scicomm

Getting ready for the #AAASMtg with a great series of talks today on cultural sensitivity in #scicomm. Then join me and my colleagues @brookesimler and Sara K. Yeo for a #SciPEP session Sunday organized by @drkeegansawyer

Very disappointed in the first two scicomm sessions at #AAASMtg on community inclusivity. ALL based on "problem" science, no discussion of basic/discovery science #scicomm #sciengage No attempt to apply these community models more broadly.

Our Basic Research Needs workshop report on #scicomm about basic #science is out! Check out the intro blog from me and @drkeegansawyer and join the convo about #sciengage w discovery science energy.gov/science/articl…

Although it’s one of the staple “scientific emotions,” curiosity is an exhausting emotion to maintain--and the endless drive to spark curiosity in our scientific audiences may be burning them out. #scicomm #sciengage #SciPEP scicommbites.org/post/copy-of-t…

A real loss to thought leadership about the place of science in society with the death of Shelly Krimsky #scicomm #sciengage now.tufts.edu/2022/04/28/rem…

According to new research by Audubon Alaska and University of Alaska Fairbanks, birdwatching contributes over $378 million to Alaska's economy and generates about 4,300 related jobs. ak.audubon.org/news/birdwatch…

An interesting think piece by NaomiOreskes in Scientific American where she argues that the public wants #scientists to engage on data and science but NOT to advocate for specific programs or policies #scicomm #scipol scientificamerican.com/article/the-pu…

There's a lot of enthusiasm for using "science comics" to communicate #science but very little #scicomm data or work to support it jcom.sissa.it/archive/08/04/…

A powerful piece from Boston Review on how we still have not learned the lesson that the deficit model of #scicomm DOES NOT WORK. It is still widely assumed anti-science stems from ignorance, the authors note bostonreview.net/articles/the-i…

At this year’s #AAASmtg missing what used to be a rich discussion environment for science communication. It isn’t this year.

In particular am already weary of #aaasmtg sessions on #sciengage/#scicomm that are barely disguised adverts for various initiatives without any substance or metrics. Much cheerleading.

An overall observation about the scicomm offerings at #aaasmtg is that they are ALL about telling stories about research IMPACT. Not about sharing passion, wonder, excitement, awe. #scicomm #sciengage

Epic fail on the #AAASmtg strategic storytelling session (which is actually about film making) when the sound of the films wouldn’t work

#AAASmtg Science of Storytelling “best practice” film clips were about a white male scientist going to an Asian country to do climate research. No local scientists engaged. A very colonial approach from #nationalgeographic

An object lesson for #scicomm and #sciengage about how NOT to do film and media designed to engage — especially films designed to engage middle school students in #climate careers.
