Someone in the news departments of @nature.com or @science.org needs to take a look at this--its a huge scandal from the scientific supplier that has become a monopoly

Given the absolutely insane levels of disinformation and growing attacks on science and scientists, all scientists must be taught - how to communicate effectively - how to engage the public - how to engage politicians and policy makers - how to engage with the media - how to counter misinformation

Quote by Paul Sutter which says "The public needs to see scientists as poeple, rather than simply sources of information"

Corporate administrators who have only experienced jobs whose main benefit was pay cannot fathom that the very best find intrinsic value in excellence and are best left to do it without undue interference or burden

“Tuberculosis has long suffered a PR problem… We are looking at a world whereby, two years from now, 2 million people will die of #tuberculosis, instead of 1.25 million… This is getting worse, not better, and I really hate it when we have the ability to make something better and we let it get worse”
