Interesting read from @pitchscience.com.au newsletter: as a ECR and during the current climate I'm not optimistic, but I hope to see an institutional change on how we quantify people's contribution to science archive.md/ker9f

Last year, #NewsfromScience examined what a TikTok ban would mean for U.S. science communicators.

Great summary of recent research on public perceptions of preprints, featuring a cool new paper by @fleerackers.bsky.social et al. 📰 Goes beyond our earlier work by also using qualitative methods, revealing very interesting (and worrying) results. Insightful read! www.science.org/content/arti...

Absolutely love this article, not least because my wonderful client Lindsay Ejoh is quoted 😍 And I’m calling it now — 2025 is going to be the YEAR for #scicomm and outreach!

When news reports about scientific papers make causal claims that are not justified by the original study, the mistake often traces to a university press release. Here, observational data reveals an association. The press release asserts causality. today.ucsd.edu/story/walkab...

First day back at Pitch Science for 2025 — so *ready* to make this such a brilliant year for scicomm 🥳

Such a brilliant idea!! 🤩 love seeing such healthy lab workplace cultures online!

One more work day left of my year and all of my client work has been sent off 🥳 So proud of everything I’ve achieved in 2024 + all of the incredible science communication content & science branding I’ve been able to create 🥹 Here comes the first break I’ve ever had since starting Pitch Science!

I heard this app is where all the cool people are? 😎 Excited to migrate across and to be able to continue sharing #scicomm tips, tricks, & inspiration *without* being in an ethical minefield - let’s go!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
