That's a wrap for #LingComm25! And it was the biggest LingComm ever. We'll be back next time for more panels, talks, how-tos, posters, and great chats with all the linguistic communicators. Thanks to everyone who attended and made this conference such a success.

Ionica Smeets road-tested their youth-oriented maths book. They used this chart to gauge emotional response; this is a good predictor for retention of material. #LingComm25

A chart with faces ranging from happy to sad
How do you feel after the experiment?
Which words describe you and your feelings best?

Why are you doing the #lingcomm that you do? What are your goals, and what does a good goal look like? If your goal is to provide information, @charlottevaughn.bsky.social explains that simply providing information doesn't change minds. (But, eh, I still think it kind of does.) #LingComm25

Text on slides:
The deficit model
The intuitive belief that simply providing information ("filling the deficit of knowledge") will change science-related attitudes or behaviors
An easy path to go down, even if you know why it is harmful!
• If you find yourself wanting to inform, inform, inform... ask yourself why
