#SciComm friends! It's the last day for late submissions to @galacticpolymath.com's #MySciJourney Challenge! www.galacticpolymath.com/blog/my-scij...

Happy #MoleDay2022! Obligatory #MoleDay earworm:

Scientists, you can still share your story with a 3 min video (easy lift) AND enter to win cash prizes and #scicomm acclaim! Submit by Nov 3 😁🧪

Time to stop doom scrolling & check out some AMAZING 3 min science videos. Your thumbs up could decide who wins the #MySciJourney challenge! 🧪🐸🪶🔊 Thanks to lead funder @ncse.bsky.social & organizers @mattwilkins.galacticpolymath.com @scitalker.bsky.social 🙌 www.galacticpolymath.com/blog/my-scij...

I made a video for @galacticpolymath.com describing #MySciJourney in the world of #ants as part of their science communication challenge. Give it a quick look and remember to leave a like! #scicomm #outreach www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXyp...

🔥 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...

DEADLINE EXTENDED to Oct. 12!✨ I don't need to tell you that public support is crucial to sustaining science. #SciComm has never been more important, so don’t miss this chance to give the public a window into how science really works—and why it works so well. Join the #MySciJourney Challenge!

To appreciate the power & promise of science, people need a deeper understanding of the _processes_ of science. Join the #MySciJourney Challenge to show the world what “doing science” looks like for you! Scientists at all stages are invited to submit their short videos by September 30.

This project came together thanks to @scitalker.bsky.social & @mattwilkins.galacticpolymath.com planning for months and reaching out to build partnerships with like-minded organizations. #SciComm needs to be about collaboration. We're all in this together!

It was super fun and enlightening to riff with @naturesarchive.bsky.social on the perils and promise—but especially the promise—of #scicomm that embraces and celebrates the complexity of nature rather than suppressing it. Special thanks to @mrwizardgi.bsky.social for connecting us! 🤗

I'm excited to share that my story is featured in this week's edition of Science Magazine! Being able to do my research with my Tribe and in my homelands has been so impactful and meaningful personally and for my career. And it's important for other young Indigenous researches to know it's possible!

So stoked to announce this free, NSF-funded unit for middle school & above! Help your students build #dataliteracy & #climateliteracy as they dive into data from @ourworldindata.org! Developed w/ @scitalker.bsky.social at @unlincoln.bsky.social 🧪 #SaveNSF teach.galacticpolymath.com/units/en-US/17

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 post is a MOOD. 🤩 #FunsizePhysics #SciComm

It feels like there's a program running in the background of my human CPU that's draining the battery and I can't force quit it.

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Beautiful words from Kyle McLachlan celebrating David Lynch, and I can't help but feel there are some deep #scicomm lessons here . . . ✨

Lenny Kravitz followed by Alanis - disturbing implication that we have aged into the target demographic for New Year's Rockin Eve

"The connection between #science and #art is more profound than simply representing the world around us — both fields are inspired by the search for truth [and] the same tools of creativity, critical thinking, problem solving and challenging the status quo are required for both." 💖

Happy #FibonacciDay! 🌻 💖

That vid is from our SciJourneys unit for grades 6+. From a 9th grader in Nashville: "I loved practicing how to ask & respond to Qs...This lesson gave me a much better understanding of how science works" 👉https://www.galacticpolymath.com/lessons/en-US/10 Sponsor: @scitalker.bsky.social via AAAS

TFW you're in the process of screenshotting a presenter's slide and they advance to the next slide a split-second before you've fully executed the cmd+shift+3 . . .

So, this happened . . . 🥰 #IconicScienceDuos @ravenscimaven @NoCoastSciComm #ScienceSlam

This is the place to be at 7:00pm tonight! How do I know it's the place to be? Well, 'cause it's where @CrystalUminski , @R_J_Grove, @hannahhchu, @JodyBugsMeUNL, @brick_hausdorff, and @ravenscimaven are gonna be! Oh yeah, and me. 🙃

Got a scary #science story? Apply by 11:59pm CDT October 18 to join me and @ravenscimaven at this virtual #ScienceSlam, where you might just claim the TOP PRIZE OF $1,000! Details: 🧵👇

Celebrating #JimHensonBirthday today with one of my all-time fave T-shirts! Thank you, Jim, always and for everything. 💖

Join me and my @UNL_PlantPath friends next Monday for a seminar on growing your #ResearchImpacts! 🌱

BREAKING NEWS: The scientific method is not a linear sequence of steps. 🤯⁉️🤔 Science is a journey! To help ALL students unlock their unique science superpowers and discover their own #SciJourney, share and tag a teacher! @GalacticPM

✨It's here! It's here! SciJourneys is heeeeeere!✨This mini-unit, developed with the amazing team at @GalacticPM w/ funding from @IfThenSheCan, will help students build resilience & creativity to succeed in science the way it's REALLY done. Unit trailer👇

Me, trying to figure out how to shred spacetime after realizing I just told 18 different people I would do 18 different things "right now" . . .

"At press time, the crows were seen sporting beautiful blond feathers, singing upbeat songs, and staring judgmentally at vultures who were eating roadkill." 😂🐦‍⬛👱‍♀️

A familiar but crucial point, incisively captured by @richgcarter_OSU at the @theNASEM workshop on Building Institutional Capacity for Engaged Research: "Building a committee of the old things is not very likely to generate the new things!" PREACH! 🙌

COFFEE: beverage or Emotional Support Liquid?

Me preparing to cut a five-page document to three (then tweeting about it to strengthen my resolve):

My #scicomm bestie @heatherakin nominated me for the @UNLincoln Staff Senate's inaugural Research Impact Award! I was delighted to receive the award, but the best part BY FAR was being nominated by this rockstar I admire so much! 😍

A beautiful day on ⁦@UNLincoln⁩’s East Campus for day two of the All-Staff Conference!

My fabulous friend and colleague Carole Allen of @NebraskaEPSCoR just called me "the Swiss Army Knife of #Scicomm" and this immediately became my favorite-ever honorary title. 🥹😊

To bring it full circle for you, @ravenscimaven . . . 😂

💖💖💖

"Magnolias are the most existential of trees...an open-mouth scream of exhilaration at the transient miracle of being alive. There is cruelty to beauty so fierce & so fleeting [but] also kindness in its gentle reminder not to squander a single moment." 🌺

Developing mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships is challenging & resource-intensive work, but so critical to achieve meaningful research impacts. @UNLincoln peeps, check out this seed funding opportunity to support your partnership goals!🌱💰

#ShareCorvidsNotCovid 🐦‍⬛ (And listen to this @Ologies interview with @corvidresearch for more corvid amazingness! )

Opening slide for a presentation I gave today on my #STEM journey. This is the vibe—and apparently always has been. 😂 Big thanks to @LPSScienceFocus for the opportunity to share the wonder, awe, joy, and connection I find in #science!

Hey @UNLincoln! @ravenscimaven has entered the chat!!! See you soon at the Union Auditorium! #DrRavenNEtour
