I made a video for @galacticpolymath.com describing #MySciJourney in the world of #ants as part of their science communication challenge. Give it a quick look and remember to leave a like! #scicomm #outreach www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXyp...

🔥 Hot #SciComm Take 🔥 The key to helping folks understand WHY science matters is showing them HOW science really works. (SPOILER: It's not the scientific method most of us learned in school.) Today is the LAST day to submit to the #MySciJourney Challenge! www.galacticpolymath.com/blog/my-scij...

DEADLINE EXTENDED to Oct. 12!✨ I don't need to tell you that public support is crucial to sustaining science. #SciComm has never been more important, so don’t miss this chance to give the public a window into how science really works—and why it works so well. Join the #MySciJourney Challenge!

To appreciate the power & promise of science, people need a deeper understanding of the _processes_ of science. Join the #MySciJourney Challenge to show the world what “doing science” looks like for you! Scientists at all stages are invited to submit their short videos by September 30.

This project came together thanks to @scitalker.bsky.social & @mattwilkins.galacticpolymath.com planning for months and reaching out to build partnerships with like-minded organizations. #SciComm needs to be about collaboration. We're all in this together!

It was super fun and enlightening to riff with @naturesarchive.bsky.social on the perils and promise—but especially the promise—of #scicomm that embraces and celebrates the complexity of nature rather than suppressing it. Special thanks to @mrwizardgi.bsky.social for connecting us! 🤗

I'm excited to share that my story is featured in this week's edition of Science Magazine! Being able to do my research with my Tribe and in my homelands has been so impactful and meaningful personally and for my career. And it's important for other young Indigenous researches to know it's possible!

Where my #physics phriends at?? It's more important than ever for those who know science best—researchers themselves—to communicate with the public about how & why it matters. Learn how to more effectively advance & advocate for the societal value of your work: go.unl.edu/may-2025-funsize-webinar

This flyer advertises a webinar called "Broader Impacts, Now More Than Ever: Lessons from Funsize Physics," to be held Wednesday, May 21, 3-4pm CDT. A comic-style image depicts a woman with purple hair, blue lipstick, wearing an orange shirt that reads "Funsize Physics." She is looking at her phone with an expression of awe, as physics images flow from her head.
