A fantastic paper authored by @jlegelhofer.bsky.social and published in @jscicom.bsky.social highlighting that science communication isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Although sunshine and rainbows far outweigh the storms! 🌈

AI is now everywhere. And there's increasing debate as to whether it empowers or hinders. Does AI empower or hinder communication? #AI #Scicomm

Science communication and visualisation is changing. Is breaking things down into bite sized chucks via graphics and reels watering down science and not giving the bigger picture? What are your thoughts? #scicomm #science

Why every researcher should have an ORCID iD: @orcid.org 1. It's often required by journals, institutions and funders. 2. It makes your work more visible. 3. It connects your research activities in one place (less faff). 4. It follows you throughout your career. 5. It's free! #scicomm #openscience

Most of us entered research because of curiosity — the excitement of asking questions and exploring the unknown. As careers progress, it’s easy to lose sight of that original spark. Has your curiosity changed since you first started?

Bad communication can lead to mistrust and risking your credibility. But no communication makes a vacuum and you are invisible. So, is it better to be bad at science communication or not communicate at all?

Science is a language of its own, and it is important to use the correct language depending on the audience. #scicomm

One of the greatest science communicators of our time, Sir David Attenborough, turns 100! Certainly a day to look back on all that he has achieved and the positive impact he has made on the planet. Who else is in the same mighty category as Sir David Attenborough? #scicomm #davidattenborough

How can we stop the number of paper mill produced papers entering the system? Reduce the publish or perish culture? Increased screening? Be more vigilant?

Paper mills are scary, they aren’t just producing fake science, they’re quietly infiltrating our everyday science literature. 😳 How do we, as a community, shift from reactive detection to proactive prevention?

The first Swiss Army Knife (1891) had just a few tools. Today, it’s a versatile toolkit. Science communication has also evolved, from papers and lectures to social media, design, AI, podcasts, and more. We now have so many tools at our fingertips. Same goal. More tools. #ScienceCommunication

LifeSci Signal @lifescisignal.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
Is science communication now part of research? Not about “marketing”, the system has changed. Funders expect clarity, relevance, and impact beyond academia. Communicating your science is becoming part of the work itself. #SciComm #Research #LifeSciences

LifeSci Signal @lifescisignal.bsky.social · 25/03/2026
Most life science papers don’t have a research problem. They have a communication problem. The signal is there, it’s just buried under jargon, structure, and convention. We don’t just need better science. We need clearer science.

We can turn years of research into a paper or a poster. But can we explain it to someone outside our field?
