Great insights today from Mevan Babakar from Google, Jon Roozenbeek at KCL and Freya Robb from Science Media Centre at the ABSW Summer School session on misinformation. A take-away for science journalists was the need to show the provenance of what they write. #scicomm #abswss25 #journalism

What can we do within the #scicomm community to tackle misinformation? Our @scicommcentre.eu session at #PCST2025 will be addressing this question. If you are at PCST2025 come along to Conference Suite 3 at 2pm today (Thurs) for the discussion. Photo: Mika Baumeister, Unsplash #science

We’ve kicked off #PCST2025, with a workshop on Teaching and #AI, organised by the @pcstnetwork.bsky.social’s Teaching Forum and led by our own @andyridgway.bsky.social. #PCST #SciComm

Do our brains control our actions based on predictions of what will happen in the future? Fascinating topic to write about as part of the @ibroorg.bsky.social article series based on studies published in Neuroscience: ibro.org/how-our-brai... #scicomm #neuroscience #phdchat

How our brain predicts the future – and learns from its mistakes

The extent to which our brains control our actions based on our predictions of what will happen has been explored in new research.
