Public trust in science and technology is a serious, growing problem, especially now. Instead of trying to solve it with better communication, we should adopt a more inclusive approach to innovation that takes low-tech, incremental, and system-wide solutions seriously.

If your paper is under review somewhere that takes anon review seriously, don’t post/present the paper with identical title/abstract! Many a paper has been slowed down by ed/ref learning the AU's identity by e.g. an email alert about a preprint in their AoS. Paraphrasing will help you here!
