stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Last night we came together for the Stempra summer social, allowing members to network with both new and familiar faces. Thanks to all our members who joined us! 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Last week, we met to discuss how to best evaluate our communications and hear from three insightful panellists: David Schley, Tim Bailey and Claire Bithell. Thanks to everyone who joined us online and in-person – we’d love to hear what you took away from the session! 000

stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Huge thanks to our outgoing co chairs, Shane Canning and Fareha Lasker. 👏 Their leadership has shaped and strengthened Stempra.

stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Congratulations to our Rob Dawson Highly Commended recipient – @duncan-banks.bsky.social, academic tutor at the @openuniversity.bsky.social.

stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 24/03/2026We’re deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague @roobina.bsky.social has passed away after several months of illness.

stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Still processing everything from yesterday 🧠 Massive thank you to our speakers and everyone who showed up, asked questions, and made it feel like a community. Couldn't make it this year? Follow us for news about future events throughout 2026. See everyone at the next event 🎉 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026What a day at #stempraCTD - sessions wrapped and the catch up is in full swing at the Euston Flyer. Huge thank you to our speakers, attendees, @eurekalert.bsky.social and @wellcometrust.bsky.social, and the Stempra CTD subcommittee for making it happen. 010
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Professor David Spiegelhalter wrapping up the day with his masterclass on communicating statistics. Focusing on what the numbers mean (and what they don’t), be upfront about uncertainty, and choose comparisons people can actually picture. #stempraCTD #SciComm 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Powerful session on Building trust in the age of misinformation, loads of takeaways for staying credible in a noisy landscape. Snippet of some of the key themes: don’t just debunk, prebunk and build trust through transparent sources and relationships. #stempraCTD #SciComm 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026An ace session on Career Journeys in Science Communication - honest, energising, and full of those “oh, I’ve been there” moments. Loved hearing how different people’s routes into #SciComm can be, the pivots, the fingers being crossed, and staying open to the next move. #stempraCTD 011
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026A fantastic chat on making comms visible and impossible to ignore. “After putting out a story, go back to it and find out what came out of it.” It shows the value + let's you find out what worked and what didn't. Up next - the fab twists and turns that are in a #SciComm career. #stempraCTD 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026The first panel delivered! 🔥 "Make sure you're pitching stories to the right person.” Harsh but fair. Exactly what we needed to hear. Quick break then rolling straight into exploring how we champion the impact of comms across our organisations. #stempraCTD #SciComm 010
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Room is getting filled and fueled☕🥐 About to start the journalist panel and people are already queuing with questions. This is going to be good. #stempraCTD #SciComm 020
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Still smiling after last night’s end-of-year party! 🎉 Such a joy to catch up with so many faces and to put our knowledge to the test! Huge cheers to our quiz champions - Kerry Noble, Hayley Dunning, Caroline Brogan, Fiona Lethbridge and Simon Levey - who triumphed with some quick thinking! 🏆👏 000
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Yesterday we met up with friends from @absw.bsky.social + @mja-uk.bsky.social and it was all about: 👋 Saying hi to old friends 🤝 Meeting great new people 🗣 Chatting STEM, stories + summer! Thanks to everyone who came along - you made it such a enjoyable event 💫 031
stempra.bsky.social @stempra.bsky.social · 07/03/2025It's likely most of us are still digesting everything we learned at Stempra's Press Officer Training Day yesterday - so we'll keep this update quick and cheerful. We partnered with KMGS Photography to immortalise the day, and the photos are IN ✨ Happy Friday, and happy faces at #POTD2025 133
