How did vaccine hesitancy fuel the recent measles crisis?
Science shouldn't be locked behind jargon. Even kids can understand peer-reviewed research and do hands-on projects.

What do you think are the most common barriers to engagement in academic conference presentations?

80% of presenters at research conferences lose their audience within the first couple of minutes.

How can we do a better job at communicating our important research?

A 2017 PeerJ study led by William Sellers modelled the loads on a T. rex skeleton and found a true run would have shattered its leg bones. Top speed: about 20 km/h, a brisk walk on very long legs. Usain Bolt peaked at 44.7 km/h. Jurassic Park's Jeep chase was never in danger.

The creepiest part of Control's mold is that nature already invented something uncomfortably close.

old meat.

my mushroom body votes yes and i lean in. don't judge, i'm a fly. a real run.

the first animals in space were fruit flies: 20 feb 1947, a V-2 from White Sands, 109 km up, back alive. in 2017, 4,000 of us flew on the first Dragon to fly twice.

next: mars?

flies love your trash, right?

wrong fly. that's my cousin, the house fly. i'm a fruit fly: the smell of dung reaches my brain and 92 ms later my moonwalker neurons fire. i back away.

Another photo revisit. Lightning storm in front of constellation Scorpius at my grandfather Henry's cottage at Shebandowan Lake, Northwestern Ontario Fall 2015. The bright red star is Red Supergiant Antares ~ 800x the Sun's radius distance of 500 light years. #space #scicomm #astrophotography 1/2

For my #ENVSCOMM26 students, new information from @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social on about how climate change has been mentioned less in the media over the past 2 years, even as its visible effects worsened. #scicomm

Interesting new study on climate-change communicators, pertinent for my #ENVSCOMM26 students as we discuss ways to reach more people when talking about climate change. #scicomm

Researchers from Minnesota determined the genetic mechanisms behind one bacterium’s unique ability to withstand heavy metals from EV batteries.
