Have you read this month's short story yet? ⤵️

Nearly 450 people here are interested in #ScienceandFiction short stories 💙

See below to read a short story from our member @lauragschw.bsky.social describing her research - really cool way to communicate science!

I love this idea. This is the type of public-facing scicomm that gives a scientist a renewed and refreshed perspective on their own work. I champion scientists engaging in ways that fill their own cups here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... BUT!! fiction writing is a challenge (at least for me). /1

I tried it, and it was a great experience! You've got to check out the work by Helena and her guest writers! See if it's something you'd like as well - you won't be disappointed if you are interested in science and fiction!

Sounds like great fun! Already thinking of a storyline.

Have you ever tried explaining your research with ... a short story?! 🤔 Believe me, it's extremely gratifying to change your perspective and let your creativity run loose. 💙 Then YOU can be a guest author for @scienceandfiction.net! 😱 DM me for more info 😁
