This is super interesting. I’ll also mention that most (not all!) discussion here focuses on one-directional sci comm by individual scientists at a distance (via internet or text). I’m not convinced that’s the best approach to public engagement with science.
The UC Center for Public Engagement with Science @ucpews.bsky.social is hiring a postdoc! Anyone who will earn a PhD in a related discipline with interest in public engagement is encouraged to apply.
Please share widely! More details and apply here: jobs.uc.edu/job/Postdoct...

I am glad Trump is backing down but a line was crossed when he explicitly called for a genocide. This is not tolerable, and there is a constitutional remedy. Impeach and remove now.
...also the Center for Public Engagement with Science and Cincinnati Ethics Center, all of which are led by faculty in

Great guest post at @dailynous.com (Full disclosure: one of the authors is a former student whom I admire greatly.) One of the many ways in which academia systematically excludes people from the Global South is by hosting prestigious events only in rich countries->
