Empathy matters as much as evidence. A new perspective in Development, co-authored by former MDI Bio Lab visiting scientist Nicole Theodosiou, PhD explores how scientists can better connect with the public and counter misinformation. #researchmatters #researchpublishing 🧪 🤝 🐟🎸 🍎 👩‍🔬 🌎 🖥️ 🧬

Speaking science in a fractured world: making truth land when facts alone cannot A Perspective by @rebeccacalisi.bsky.social, @kaliceaphd.bsky.social, Jamy Peng, @spiraldoc.bsky.social & @rogerslabucd.bsky.social on how to combat scientific misinformation journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Excited to share our new article on #scicomm in Development! Truth does still matter! Have conversations with the people around you. Listen with curiosity and empathy. You don’t have to have all the facts, share in a conversation 🙏🏼🍁

An incredibly important article and increasingly relevant in modern political climates. Thank you to @rogerslabucd.bsky.social and colleagues for writing this for @dev-journal.bsky.social "Speaking up can feel like walking a tightrope strung between conflict and silence." #TruthMatters

⭐ Call to make STEM education relevant! ⭐ When we don't make our science relevant, we risk creating a society where facts lose meaning and expertise loses value. Creating learning experiences built around real-world issues, both teaching and learning are more engaging and fun! lnkd.in/gknp3sWc

⭐ Truth Matters: Strengthening Science Communication to Counter Misinformation ⭐ at the 20th International Congress for Developmental Biology @SocDevBio. @ Kevin Alicea-Torres @rebeccacalisi.bsky.social Connect with people, be curious, ask questions, empathize! 🙏🏼 participants & speakers!
