This week, we're #thankful for our colleague @lizbarnes.bsky.social, who's working to promote harmony between #religion & #evolution! Tune in on Insta or TikTok through Thursday to see her #Scopes100 clips. @ncse.bsky.social

The Science Communication Education Research Network (SCERN) is excited to launch our second talk series! Our first talk will be from Dr. Liz Bailey on integrating indigenous ways of knowing into science communication. Free to all! See flier for registration details.

How do we lower the “science vs faith” temperature? @lizbarnes.bsky.social shows practical ways to reduce conflict so more students can learn #evolution: https://loom.ly/ljN30oU#evolution@ncse.bsky.social #Scopes100

All talks from Session VI: The Relationship of #Evolution and Religion are online! https://loom.ly/4IBdeAk#Evolution @ncse.bsky.social @lizbarnes.bsky.social @revbatgirl.bsky.social

Talk series announcement for NSF-funded Science Communication Education Research Network (SCERN)! Three speakers will presenttheir work on science communication education to improve students' communication skills about science! Details and a QR code to register are below!

Students often talk with friends & fam about climate, @lizbarnes.bsky.social + colleagues find. But they tend to go heavy on the stats & facts, and don't know how to bring up solutions. They rarely learn how to have effective conversations, and would love training & practice. Well, guess what! 🧵

Our new research shows that college students talk about climate change often but rely too much on statistics and facts without building trust first. They also really want to learn more about how to communicate effectively as part of their science education. www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...

I’m so excited and humbled to embark on this incredible research journey! Truly a dream come true for this first generation kid #NSFCAREER mtsunews.com/biology-facu...

I'm recruiting 2 fully funded Ph.D. students (w/ summer funding) to work on a NSF CAREER grant! We will be studying how to increase students' science communication knowledge and skills about vaccines & climate change. Reach out if you are interested! www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...
