Looking forward to seeing this photo exhibition "Limestone: Life Between the Cracks" in the local libraries of South Cumbria close to the beautiful locations where the photos were taken! 🌿 Thanks for the opportunity to help produce the exhibition @limestonepavements.bsky.social! #SciComm #Ecology

Very frightening if this is true. Terrifying that I won't be very surprised if it is.

I'm not sure what it says about me that I could immediately recognise the Park Grass experiment from just the thumbnail of this @scishow.bsky.social video! youtu.be/bFXd7EIXiiA?... #LongTermExperiment #Agriculture #Ecology #Nitrogen #Science #Evolution @ect-uk.bsky.social @rothamsted.bsky.social

Sorry for the Bluesky silence. It's been a very busy few months: - designing Edinburgh Science Festival events 🎭🧪 - preparing for new projects 🤔 - taking a bit of personal time 🥾 Expect more posts in the near future! #SciComm #science #PublicEngagement

Sharing STEM stories (science, technology, engineering and maths) with people is such a joy! 😁 It's a privilege to be part of the Edinburgh Science events development team... and to moonlight as one of our science communicators at my third Edinburgh Science Festival opening party! #SciComm #STEM

An enlightening threat with lots of info I had no idea about before. An informative #MondayMorning breakfast read! #ecology #reintroduction #wolf

I've got a lot of work to do today. Feels like a classic disco tunes sort of day.

Wow. 😟😡

Highlight of 2024: collaborating with experts to develop Future Farming, showing the potential of #engineering careers in #agriculture and #aquaculture to secondary school students, thanks to @raeng.org.uk. 🏆And now it's shortlisted for an Engineering Matters Award! www.linkedin.com/posts/edinbu...

The world is full of so many interesting things! I'm having one of those afternoons where I'm not getting anything done because I keep finding new things to look up. I WILL finally make it into the kitchen sometime before teatime, I hope! 😜 #AlwaysCurious

🐝 Limestone Quarries & Wild Bees A study from @britishecolsoc.bsky.social finds abandoned quarries can be vital habitats for 114 bee species, including 35 endangered ones, when managed well. Connectivity & floral diversity are key. 🔗 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #SciComm 🧪

This is a fascinating piece of #bumblebee research! Read the main thread and @hcslambert.bsky.social's interesting answer to questions too. #ecology #insect #flower #phenology Love that I'm discovering things like this again thanks to this place

I've been out of the field lab for a long while. Who are the #DungBeetle researchers in #Farming and #ecology and #biogeography to follow on here to get me up to speed? #AlwaysCurious #biodiversity #SustainableFarming #insect #invertebrate #entomology

Blue sky is the 'nice app' where white people make starter packs about their interest or research area but somehow do not notice that these lists are all white and then further do not engage when this pointed out. But you are not racist, right?

ScienceWrite, a UK scheme for aspiring STEM writers from minoritised backgrounds, is open for 2025 applications! The 3rd year @romatheengineer.bsky.social & I are running this, with support from @royalsociety.bsky.social & I am SO EXCITED Deadline 3rd Jan #SciComm 🧪 www.sciencewrite.co.uk

Very poignant thread from @be-sciencey.bsky.social. Would be great for the #SciComm community over here to better than it's ever been elsewhere. I'm mostly here to discover and learn instead of share, but would be interested to follow this conversation. Thanks for getting it started Helen!

Hi #freshwater folks 👋 The Freshwater Biological Association have announced a new initiative to assess one of our rarest fish, the Arctic charr, in Windermere. There is a crowd funder, too, to support the work ☺️ (And here's a bit of #SciArt from me!) 🧪💦 www.fba.org.uk/lake-distric...

Hello to all the new Blueskyers 👋 Welcome!

Going to have a full read of this later, but a brief look suggests it's a really useful resource for researchers and research-adjacent professionals alike. Thanks @uoylibrary.bsky.social !

Ah the things you find yourself doing for work! 🤷 What are you doing with your Thursday afternoon? #SciComm #PublicEngagement #Events #Science #Pollinators

I didn't know you could do this here, or that this is how this ap has been set up. Very useful info! Thanks Bethany! #Accessibility #photography

Ecologists🌍🧪! I'd love it if you could fill in this short survey about #DataScience & #Ecology pretty please forms.gle/m3ae3JLbHpoU... Fact-finding mission for my new role @dsilancaster. @BESMacroecol.bsky.social @BES_QE_SIG.bsky.social @BritishEcolSoc.bsky.social Thanks! cat to get attention...

An interesting article in The Conversation exploring the challenges in communicating science and how we need to consider people's distrust when we think about how to go about sharing important scientific messages. theconversation.com/why-some-peo...

I watched this film about work Lake District Farmers are doing investigating financial and nature implications of regenerative farming, with ICAEW and some of my old colleagues from Lancaster Uni. Fascinating! 📰 Details: www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us... 📽 Film: www.icaew.com/technical/su...

Daniel Swain's @weatherwest.bsky.social article in this post is a very informative perspective on the support research science-communicators (of all disciplines) need from funders and their institutions. I hope people share it with those in positions of power that can push these initiatives forward.

This is where I've been all week, helping to share the variety and excitement of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) jobs with thousands of Scottish teenagers during Edinburgh Science's Careers Hive! 📽 news.stv.tv/v/pupils-giv...

Hello! Excited to find people on here! I'm a former field ecology / biogeography researcher and "dung beetle botherer", now working full time in science communication, helping to share the science stories of others. Day-job with Edinburgh Science, by "night" sharing science at music festivals!
