🔥 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...

The “comm” in #SciComm also stands for community!!

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.

My journey to #Entangled started in a @unlenglish class w/ @gracebauerpoet, where I learned I could capture in poetry the awe & wonder & joy I experienced through science. 20 years later, I found I wasn't alone; I'm honored to share these pages, and this vision, with friends. 💖

Carrying on @CrystalUminski's legacy of color-coordinating with campus locations! It turns out my @SvahaUSA "elements of the human body" dress matches two of the three first-floor conference rooms in Whittier. Now if I could just convince them to paint the third one purple...🤔💜

Jocelyn Bosley @scitalker.bsky.social · 07/07/2023

Thought of you today, @CrystalUminski, when I realized I was matchy-matchy with the @UNLPhysics courtyard! You'll always be the queen of color-coordinating with campus locations, though! 😘
