Driving into Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, you can see massive 750-foot sand dunes from miles away at the base of mountains! My first thought: "how the hell did sand end up here?" One well-designed sign at the visitors center answered immediately. Good science communication in action.

"[academic] writing is not just about sharing information; it also involves making a political and moral statement." doi.org/10.37602/IJS...

Wild that a university would argue public engagement isn't part of faculty work, therefore they owe no protection when researchers face harassment. WILD. www.wissenschaftskommunikation.de/instead-of-f...

Planning fall courses? 📚 Consider adding communication training to your grad course. With 56.9% of PhDs working outside academia, students need skills that work everywhere. Communication training makes them better academics AND stronger job candidates. cintronrevised.com/blog/communi...

I've been thinking about shifting my #newsletter from #MailerLite. I've mentally outgrown it. I'm looking for something a bit more turnkey, more fun, and easier to use. Any suggestions? Which do you love? Why do you love it? What was your experience shifting your newsletter to another platform?

What’s the best approach for sharing research beyond academia? 🤔 The question is fundamentally flawed. There is no best approach. But there is the best approach that works for YOU. I created writing prompts to help you find YOUR unique path👇🏾 cintronrevised.com/blog/researc...

Raise your hand if you've explained your research and got a blank stare 🙋🏾‍♀️ The problem isn't that your research isn't important—it's that we were never taught how to talk about it in ways people understand. Here are 5 techniques to address this👇🏾 cintronrevised.com/blog/researc...

It’s truly a miracle I’m out in the world instead of working from my couch and watching the French Open. 📍Sarasota, FL

Imagine if every scientist published an op-ed in their hometown paper showing how their community sparked their curiosity & shaped the research that's now changing the country? That's what @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social is promoting—collective action, one story at a time. doi.org/10.1038/d415...

We've all come face to face with unreadable journal articles. So rife with jargon & passive voice that we abandon ship. Academic writing IS research communication. This @insidehighered.com article shows how small changes can transform the reading experience. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

"Share your research! Build your platform!" These well-meaning calls rarely acknowledge how uneven the playing field is. And now: New research shows Black female scientists receive significantly lower credibility ratings when presenting identical information: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A student organization at Cornell University has launched a grassroots science communication campaign to encourage budding researchers to communicate the value proposition of their federally funded research. 👇🏾 www.forbes.com/sites/shalin...

Adjust the back-end of your journal's website so that a relevant preview image is shared when research is shared from your website. Subtle but obvious adjustments that can make a major difference. 👇🏾 www.southernfriedscience.com/its-2025-why...

I am exactly where I am supposed to be. 📍Siesta Key Beach, FL

As a researcher, getting media coverage shouldn't require PR expertise or connections. So if you're looking to get your research featured in media, check out @getqwoted.bsky.social ! It's a free platform that connects experts with journalists. www.qwoted.com

Buen día. ☀️ I am not a morning person. At least that's what I used to tell myself. Then—faced with Mexico City's poor air quality + road traffic and now central Florida's brutal summer heat—I was forced to reconsider that story. 📍Parrish, FL, USA

Including jargon in your research abstracts and titles may make you sound smarter, but it's also turning off your readers. And potentially negatively impacting your citations. #ResearchCommunication #SciComm #ScienceCommunication #Research

Stop announcing your research and start reaching your readers ✨ Are you excited to share a new paper? You should be! But how do you want people to actually engage with it? Reflect on these 4 questions before sharing your next paper on social media:

Before you starts your cinco de mayo festivities, maybe take 30 minutes to learn about the history of the day? Here’s a start: it’s not Mexico’s Independence Day. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Vietnam was the first so-called “living room war,” watched on TV and seen through remarkable photography. Photojournalists captured the war’s most personal moments, the best and worst of human nature. See the photos, 50 years after the war ended. nyti.ms/4iG1Kd0

#SciComm folks, it's time to change our language and say “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.” 🧪 "All kids can do science, but.. they think of being a scientist as something reserved for certain kinds of kids." 📖: www.scientificamerican.com/article/keep...

Who doesn't love a whodunnit!?!? Knives Out. Only Murders in the Building. The Residence. But what if I told you the same storytelling techniques can transform your research communication? 🔍 Check out my latest blog: cintronrevised.com/blog/researc... #SciComm #ResearchCommunication

You don't need to be a psychologist to know how hard it is to be vulnerable. And now research suggests you should do it more, in your work life, and on the Internet. 🫣 Sharing research-related failures on social media builds more trust with audiences. doi.org/10.1177/1075... #SciComm

Not giving in to the academic urge to say “well actually…” deserves a medal of honor. Because the way people be talking!

I’ve been comfort watching a documentary on Watergate; how are you managing?

"We urge scholars to think, to pause in the moment of crafting that Facebook post or tweet celebrating their latest accomplishment and ask: What kind of monster am I/are we?" The face I made when I read this paper: doi.org/10.3102/0013...

Happy opening day! ⚾️
