“The Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia on the Science of Science Communication began in 2012 with an effort to survey the state of the art of empirical social science research in science communication and focused on the communication dynamics surrounding issues in science, engineering, and medicine. The second colloquium highlighted the particular challenges with communicating about science that involves controversy, and was an important impetus for the consensus study report Communicating Science Effectively: A Research Agenda. Evolving from past colloquia, this third colloquium will focus on the consensus study as a framework for advancing both research and practice in science communication. It will explore ways to build capacity for and foster the use of evidence-based strategies for engaging the public with science and ensuring its appropriate use.”

Have questions about #science communication? Tweet #SacklerSciComm and join the discussion! https://t.co/BeMFLAh3sF
Appreciate the is instruction from @franksesno if you have a question, to keep it short "don't give a speech, ask a question." #SacklerSciComm
This is why @verified needs to verify scientists who apply and why scientists need to apply to be verified! I think verification has the potential to help with trust. #scicomm #scipol #SacklerSciComm ⬇ https://t.co/KHhXfIs3IQ

It's like a delightful immersion experience in awkward scientists #sacklerscicomm
Alan Leshner, past president of #AAAS is the first speaker. #SacklerSciComm
Excited to be attending #SacklerSciComm. Looking forward to two great days of #scicomm discussion and debate.
"Our job [the job of science] is the betterment of humankind..." Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
First up after the intros, former AAAS CEO, Alan Leshner. He warns us: "I'm going to break the rules and speak too fast and use too many slides" :) #SacklerSciComm
Baruch Fischhoff recently got in @CARandDRIVER because he was almost run over by an autonomous vehicle #SacklerSciComm
Here at #sacklerscicomm running into lots of @scienceally s committed to defending evidence & upholding scientific consensus
Leshner: our job is for the betterment of mankind - if the public can't access it, why do we do science? #scicomm #SacklerSciComm
Excited to be sitting in on this for the next two days. Looking forward to bringing best practices for communicating science back to @JohnsHopkins #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/YbjWugQI8b

Leshner: What do we know about science communication. What research do we need? Know a good deal to which people say "Great" and ignore. #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: there's a lot of research on #scicomm: "people hear it, they say 'great,' and then they go ahead and do what they want” #SacklerSciComm

Leshner: "Not knowing your audience is the biggest mistake I see". Scientists talk about what they are interested in, not what their audience wants to hear about #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: the deficit model is wrong.
Maybe if we just keep repeating this people will realize it. #sacklerscicomm
Leshner: Know your audience. Speak for them not yourself. Complexity and uncertainty for public. #SacklerSciComm
1) Do what you want to get done,
2) tailor your approach to what your audience wants,
3) the deficit model is mostly wrong. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/dpzWiUO1Mg
Crossing-cutting #scicomm themes: 1. Align your strategy with your goals 2. Tailor to your audience 3.Communicating science is particularly difficult 4. The deficit model is mostly wrong 5. Mental models matter 6. Framing is critical 7. Go "glocal" #SacklerSciComm
We’re joining science communicators at the #SacklerSciComm conference in #DC. It’s critical to understand how to effectively communicate to the public the important work our scientists are doing 👩🏼🔬👨🏽🔬 @theNASEM https://t.co/lnOlzGmFEc
While I love science and I love @theNASciences Its hard to see this hashtag and not think of how it went so wrong. See below. #SacklerSciComm HT @NewYorker https://t.co/4weUcY9pDr
Nice editorial in @ConversationUS from @scheufele and @2020science , 2 members of Communicating Science Effectively report here: https://t.co/714aqO8plA #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner reviewing @theNASEM report Communicating Science Effectively. Emphasizing importance of knowing your audience and how decisions are made.. #SacklerSciComm Report: https://t.co/nftxpemN4t [click on right side "download free PDF"]
Leshner: People rarely make decisions based just on science. How you frame the issue is imperative. Glocal - people interested in local issues. #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: 'Only scientists are stuck wtih the scientific evidence' - everyone else can ignore it if they want to #SacklerSciComm
"Only scientists are stuck with what science says" - the rest of the public can distort or ignore - live now @ #sacklerscicomm
Jill Sackler addresses Science of Science Communication at National Academy of Sciences #SacklerSciComm Marcia McNutt, 400 attendees listen https://t.co/eYKunhnllW
How about that? @theNAEng and @theNASEM, #SacklerSciComm is officially your trend, celebrate? You can trust the robot.
Leshner: only scientists are stuck w/ what science says. Others can interpret or ignore sci however they see fit (cough, politicians, cough) #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner: Engaging the public works much better than talking at the public #scicomm #SacklerSciComm
"The current media environment is complex...We have to find ways to work through it..." Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/gM7Rva2aCn
Need to focus on your audience - talk about what people want to hear; go #GLocal - global issue and make it local #scicomm #SacklerScicomm
[Aside...IMHO a lot of scientists ignore evidence when it conflicts with their beliefs/values, because scientists are people too] #weareallhuman #sacklerscicomm
8. Today's media environment is competitive and complex 9. Engage formally with the public (in dialogue) 10. Effective public engagement is not easy #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: With social media there are no gatekeepers. Communicating with the public (dialog) is much more effective than at the public (monolog) #SacklerSciComm
"Communication is an acquired skill." Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
Kick-off: Science of #SciComm III. Live-streamed. Questions via sacklerwebcast@nas.edu or #SacklerSciComm. https://t.co/mUkuilXgYA

Alan Leshner encourages scientists to engage with the public and to listen to them for effective #scicomm. Watch #SacklerSciComm online https://t.co/gFJJE7fkOa
Leshner highlights research Qs in @theNASEM Communication Science Effectively report (it set a research agenda): 1) what structure & processes for public engagement are most effectively? #SacklerSciComm
Watch the Sackler Science Communication Seminar online today #SacklerSciComm #SciComm https://t.co/K3QknB01JQ @theNASciences https://t.co/i3OsIEl8MF
Join us online for #SacklerSciComm Nov. 16 &17. Hear from #scicomm practitioners, philanthropists, & researchers. https://t.co/BvLykV1vym https://t.co/nnTIUBrpny
Leshner: "Listening is hard." Also difficult: changing your #scicomm strategy based on what your audience(s) are telling you. But we must do it. #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: "Engagement is an acquired skll as is communication more broadly." #SacklerSciComm
One of the greatest #scicomm mistakes is speaking about what you want to speak, not what audience wants to hear - Leshner at #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/sXertjBOQq
Don’t communicate at public, communicate WITH public. Move from monologues to dialogue -Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm @theNASciences #scicomm
@theNASEM 2) How is scientific info used by policy makers in formal policy processes #SacklerSciComm
This is super interesting! #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/DYgGAeR0Sd
Alan Leshner encourages scientists to engage with the public and to listen to them for effective #scicomm. Watch #SacklerSciComm online https://t.co/gFJJE7fkOa
Speaking of diversity in science communication research - was the committee on the @theNASEM science of #scicomm research agenda diverse enough? Just wondering and asking critical questions. #SacklerSciComm
@theNASEM I missed some. So ~3) How to get through competing messages and sources of information? #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner: How can we use social media platforms online games and blogs to meet #scicomm goals? #sacklerscicomm
Engagement: speaking with, not at, your audience is important #SacklerSciComm a lesson for all, including scientists
'We understand that policy is based on facts & values, never on facts alone - so how can we as scientists make sure policymakers are getting the important facts?' #sacklerscicomm
"We need to move from a monologue to a dialogue." Alan Leshner at #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner: The deficit model is wrong. People rarely make decisions solely on science. How you frame the issue is critically important. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/0BIPYIHfhw
Obvious but worth repeating: engagement is not easy. We need to foster listening skills and respectful dialog to be effective #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: Trying to overlay science over people's life decisions is extremely difficult. #SacklerSciComm
#Scicomm needs to be "Glocal" meaning you have to take a global issue and make it local, says Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner coauthor of the NAS Report at #SacklerSciComm: "Only scientists are stuck with what science says." "Know before whom you stand' (aka "Know thy audience") And talk about what they want -- not just what you want."

Anyone know if slides will be avail later? Late arrival :( #SacklerSciComm
And IMO 'engagement' as a term in this context is vague and not all that helpful #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/tcsW4tNVvg
Obvious but worth repeating: engagement is not easy. We need to foster listening skills and respectful dialog to be effective #SacklerSciComm

The science to inform how to communicate & engage about science is far from new. Fischoff mentions 1989 @thenasem report Improving Risk Communication, but the field is much older than this #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/lJjGnll27W
@Mammondy agree, for most people it conjures marriage.. but it is better than communication in that it implies dialogue #SacklerSciComm what are the alternatives?
#sacklerscicomm Alan Leshner has the same "pet question" as I do: How do we communicate science effectively amid conflicts over beliefs and values? Especially when the sciences is discordant with their life experiences, values, and beliefs? #SciComm
Leshner turns the floor over to Baruch Fischoff #SacklerSciComm
Extremely valuable and practical ideas being discussed at #SacklerSciComm today, essential point: "meet people where they are" in order to engage in effective communication of science-based information. https://t.co/Sc2NkQSx1J https://t.co/98HkXyLdKu

#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8FzKactOOR
@drkeegansawyer @theNASEM Alas, @theNASEM rarely cites the work of Cooperative Extension (established 1914) in communicating research to the public. For example, p.11 at https://t.co/phCmlPkRDn makes no mention. https://t.co/r5HNOIJ47i
Baruch Fischhoff: we need proper staffing to be effective #scicomm. Subject matter specialists, decision scientists, behavioral scientists, and practitioners. #sacklerscicomm

Sesno: uncertainty is one of the biggest problems in #scicomm #SacklerSciComm ; Leshner: public doesn't hear caveats and clauses
Fischoff's essential expertise for effective #scicomm - practitioners, trainers, what would be on your list? #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/6YcnoWdzdA
Fischoff: Need basic applied science for evaluating accepted science in an applied context. #SacklerSciComm
Scientists incentives: publishing in top journals & also usefulness of research, in my experience not rewarded for #scicomm #sacklerscicomm
On the public and soundbites: “they don’t hear the caveat or the clause”-Leshner #scicomm #SacklerSciComm
https://t.co/LcMhwxd7HV
#SacklerSciComm
Baruch Fischoff articulates the relevance and importance of interdisciplinarity in the science of science communication #SacklerSciComm
There are no caveats or clauses when the public hears science, uncertainty seems to be ignored says Leshner #Sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Basic and applied research need each other: take away from Baruch Fischoff #SacklerSciComm
Baruch Fischhoff: We live with uncertainty all the time. How do you present it in a way (to the media/public) that's honest? #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Baruch Fischhoff: We live with uncertainty all the time, the question is how do you present it in a way that people understand and feel respected. And you need to test those messages. #SacklerSciComm
@FromTheLabBench ive noticed that the slides are frequently underwhelming at this conference, which i think speaks to the divide between #scicomm researchers and practitioners #sacklerscicomm
Discussion: Leshner: People would love to have certainty if we could give it to them, but we live in a world with uncertainty. How to present so people feel it's more honest. #SacklerSciComm
How can we better integrate research & practice in science communication? Learn more @theNASciences #SacklerSciComm. Find a live stream here: https://t.co/gxRHdXOFHw #KState @KS_SCI
Leshner: Funding is distributed along disciplinary lines. Until we have review panels who can *comfortably* navigate across disciplines, $ for this research will be problem #sacklerscicomm
@Paleophile If for some reason you would like HS student input on anything science - let me know I should be able to have student respond within 30 or sooner depending on time of day. #sacklerSciComm
Love this! Leshner coined the term "glocal" - people only care about things at a local or personal level #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
What's the deal with #SacklerSciComm? Do you school me? Am I a hub? Am I an actual partner? Just what am I?
Leshner: "I would talk to practitioners" because they actually understand what people care about #SacklerSciComm
@franksesno leading a panel on science communication @theNASEM. Ask a question using #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/mIefikMUPu
Great that the event started with'the deficit model is wrong' and has already got to public setting direction of research #SacklerSciComm
"I always like the notion of allowing the public to help design the research agenda even though scientist often hate that.”-Do they hate that or are they not incentivized for it in promotion/tenure/reappointment or by the funders? #SacklerSciComm
Refreshing to hear Alan Leshner say he'd fund practitioners to support pushing the research forward - as an access point to publics #SacklerSciComm
Q: re incentive structure for excellent scicomm. How can "entire structure of science" change to pay attn to sci of scicomm, put more effort in? #sacklerscicomm
Q: Science reward system isn't there for #scicomm. What can we do to change the structure? @Marcia4Science #SacklerSciComm
Do so-called "opinion leaders" (e.g., @BillNye @neiltyson @algore count as #scicomm practioners? How do they help/harm the scicomm environment? How do we get them to pay attention to the research? #SacklerSciComm
How do we change the reward system for scientists to encourage more #scicomm #sciengage? Key Q from Marcia McNutt #SacklerSciComm
@drkeegansawyer I'm at #SacklerSciComm too! Let's connect!
McNutt question: Tyson mentioned that communication is a lot of work. What can we do to increase science incentives to communicate well. #SacklerSciComm
YESSSSS 'the reward structure isn't there for the scientists' for science communication #sacklerscicomm
NAS president Marcia McNutt asks how we can reward and insentivize scientists as communicators. Thumbs up! #sacklerscicomm
@Marcia4Science Leschner: The truth is, the older generation will need to go away. Young scientists get it. It's the older generation that says "you're wasting your time". It will roll into the incentive system eventually. #SacklerSciComm
.@Marcia4Science: Scientific incentive system does not reward the effort needed for scientists to be good at #scicomm. How can we change the reward structure? #SacklerSciComm
Alan Leshner on incentivizing/encouraging #scicomm: “Young scientists get it” Heck yeah we do! #SacklerSciComm
I’m following #SacklerSciComm with huge interest, and also wishing it weren’t double-booked against #NCA17, where there are a lot of folks with rhetoric of science expertise.
Q in room: how to get scientists to pay attention to scioscicomm? Leshner: "older generation is going to have to go away. Younger scientists get it and want to do it." I've certainly seen that here on twitter! #sacklerscicomm
Baruch Fischhoff: Research funding policy disencourages interdisciplinary collaborative work as would need to be done in #scicomm research. #SacklerSciComm
How can we change how we reward scientists, so they will put effort into #scicomm? It is changing - more and more scientists now get "it".
#SacklerSciComm
Provocative point by Alan Leshner (not from the NAS report) is that only scientists are "stuck" with accepting the results of science. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/4Q9UEefx9I
#NASmemeber Baruch Fischhoff & Alan Leshner on communicating science to the public. Without public acceptance, why else would scientists do what they do? #SacklerSciComm
@theNASEM report https://t.co/V6LAEx6wEy https://t.co/5BTga5bo8c
Leshner: Likely the older generation will have to go away. Younger scientists get it. #SacklerSciComm
"Young scientists get it--that we need to communicate science effectively" Dr. Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
@Marcia4Science Fischhoff: I'm less optimistic. I don't think a junior faculty would risk jeopardizing their tenure track. The older generation needs to go away but so does their legacy. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Young scientists seem to get the value of communication as a scientist, says Alan Leshner, but we need an incentive structure, says Baruch Fischhoff #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
Great question - how to incentivize scientists to be good science communicators. Reference to @neiltyson "It took a lot of effort to be a good communicator." #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/AbZzpIs8KR
'it'll take a brave junior person to risk their tenure/promotion to change the incentive structure' - 'need to build up the training structure' #sacklerscicomm
To better #scicomm, the older generation needs to get with it and follow the lead of the younger scientists who see the importance of effective communication--Leshner #sacklerscicomm
Barusch Fischhoff believes we need to increase/encourage #scicomm training for scis - that’s what we’re doing at @ComSciCon! #SacklerSciComm
Scicomm is not rewarded or incentivized in institutions. We need to build a supportive training infrastructure around this. #SacklerSciComm
Fischoff: I'm less optimistic. Both the older and their legacy have to go away. It takes a grave young scientist to buck the reward system. #SacklerSciComm
"the older generation, they will have to go away because young scientist get it. They do understand and they want to do it. It is the older generation who says you are wasting your time”-Leshner
Junior scholars "are being strangled by the older people”-Fischhoff #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Discussion about incentives: Young scientists get the importance of #SciComm. Grad programs increasingly see importance. But the incentive system needs to catch up. T&P process needs to catch up. I bet many scientists agree.
Learning a lot at #sacklerscicomm @NAS w Alan Leshner, Baruch Fischhoff & Frank Sesno
@Marcia4Science Leshner (in sum): Wait until we get rid of the olds. Things have been changing within institutions, but not fast enough.
Fischhoff Iin sum); Not as optimistic as Alan. Too much risk for early career scientists to spend time on #scicomm. #SacklerSciComm
It seems like a lot of proposed solutions to problems in sci and academia are essentially waiting for people to retire. #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/YvlJzMYJp6
Q in room: how to get scientists to pay attention to scioscicomm? Leshner: "older generation is going to have to go away. Younger scientists get it and want to do it." I've certainly seen that here on twitter! #sacklerscicomm

"Go “Glocal”. Take a global issue and make it meaningful at a local level”. Alan Leshner's message is spot on at #SacklerSciComm today in DC. @aaas @_SciComm @theNASciences

Communicating Science Effectively: A Research Agenda (2017), PDF copy free: https://t.co/YdskwZIAS6
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm
I love how #SacklerSciComm talking about #collaboration and #interdisciplinary approach. Practitioners need to be included in #scicomm teaching. @CU_BIOG3500 course @saguaromelee from @MannLibrary, @sensitivsci from @CornellCALS & @myndwalk from @ScienceCabaret collaborate! https://t.co/w1htYdEvUW
Describing dense scientific research is no simple task. This #CornellCALS course teaches young scientists to communicate their work through storytelling. #CUsciStory https://t.co/eLALP1h3lY
Yet younger scientists face a fair degree of risk to "spend any time" on "communication" rather than "science." In truth, these are inextricable. Valuable science relies on effective communication. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/mZuSu0mG41
Leshner: Likely the older generation will have to go away. Younger scientists get it. #SacklerSciComm
FYI - some ideas for how to change incentive structures in Academia to support #scicomm from @DonBoesch and others, see Chapter 4, pg 25 #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/JLWRFEwRJ5
Great speakers at the #SacklerSciComm, but could we have a less mature white male panel? The audience is the opposite.
Hey #edchat #ngsschat #ngss #scitlap Want to find scientists active on twitter? Checkout #sacklerscicomm today and tomorrow. A conference about science communication among other things.
Leshner: questioning the promotion & tenure system that holds back younger academics who want to engage in better science communication w the public #sacklerscicomm
"Everybody secretly is human." Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
Great question - deficit model neither works to communicate science nor convince scientists to engage w/ members of the public. How do we address this? #SacklerSciComm
"Everybody secretly is human" LOL #sacklerscicomm
Everyone is secretly human, even scientists - but it's an acquired skill. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Everybody, secretly, is human...Communication is an acquired skill. #SacklerSciComm
"The secret is out, everyone is human" says Leshner, when asked why its hard for scientists to relate and be authentic -- #SacklerSciComm
Effective science communication "is an art as well as a craft." #sacklerscicomm
great end to first session of #sacklerscicomm. Leshner: "it definitely matters to be human when communicating with other humans."
@Sarah_Mojarad @Marcia4Science Can think of a LOT of young scientists who ARE putting communications at the centre of their enterprise @DrBalch @McCauley_Lab @pinskylab & many more! They are also scientist leaders.
#SacklerSciComm
Leshner: "Everyone's secretly a little bit human. Scientists have a little more trouble being publicly human, and when they do they get ridiculed. But it definitely matters to be human when communicating." #SacklerSciComm
"Everyone is secretly human." - Alan Leshner on #scicomm
#SacklerSciComm
Public engagement of science means communicating WITH the public, not AT the public #SacklerSciComm
How do we incentivize/promote #scicomm - the older generation had to give way b/c younger scientists "get it"#SacklerSciComm
It seems like the diversity question stumped the panel a little bit... #SacklerSciComm
Leshner: Scientists showing their human side is an acquired skill. "Everybody secretly is human...and it definitely matters being a human when communicating with other humans." #SacklerSciComm #SciComm #SciEngage
How do we approach the human aspect of science communication to make it accessible to the public? "Well, everyone is secretly human... even scientists!" #SacklerSciComm
"Everybody secretly is a human" Alan Leshner from @aaas #SacklerSciComm
Best quote of the day: “Everybody secretly is human." Alan Leshner #SacklerSciComm
How to humanize ourselves in #scicomm? Good news: "Everybody secretly is human" - Leshner #SacklerSciComm
Es muy importante ser humano y reconocerse como tal al momento de comunicarse con otros humanos #SacklerSciComm en la "Ciencia de la Comunicación de la Ciencia"
I've been watching #SacklerSciComm for an hour - heard @neiltyson name as example of great #scicomm 3 times. I wonder how the audience would answer "who is doing a good job". I suspect not much variety in answers.

Everybody is secretly human ... scientists sometimes get criticized for that ... (on engaging with the public) #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
@gmbritton I hear a lot of $25 words. Who’s your implicit audience? How are scientists using plain language and narratives to engage the audience? "Everybody's secretly human." #SacklerSciComm

Interesting first panel at #SacklerSciComm; however, I can't get past the fact that the first panel (of 3 older white males) discussed the importance of diversity among researchers & in audiences without acknowledging the lack of diversity on their own panel...
Sesno: Next panel on philanthropy. How to see that .evidence-based science makes it into decision making. #SacklerSciComm
@LandrumAR @BillNye @neiltyson @algore Harm. By politicising the issue -> more polarisation.
And by exaggerating, again -> more polarisation. #SacklerSciComm
Opening #SacklerSciComm panel takeaway: make theory and evidence-based practical #scicomm training part of graduate education culture. Something we're trying to do @PSUBellisario @PSUScience @PSUSciPolicy @PSUresearch
Das Sackler-Colloquium "The Science of Science Communication III" hat @theNASciences begonnen und wird live im Webcast gesendet: https://t.co/XiGWgIX6Vw #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm opens w/ summary of where we are in #scicomm and where we need to go. Then moves to panel w/ funders. Great idea!
Baruch Fischoff speaking at #SacklerSciComm cites @NSF #broaderimpacts as incentive to communicate more effectively (and justification to do so). When will @NIH and others follow?
It was pretty glaring how quickly the panel side-stepped this question #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/FMbOjpwi8Y
Crickets in response to a q re: how to build #diversity in scicomm. This is a fundamental issue, & people are working on it, but not well represented on this agenda #sacklerscicomm
Most #SacklerSciComm tweets RN abt how young sci's intuitively get importance of #scicomm. Am I the only professional working with *brand new faculty* who ALL aren't on social media (substantially), and who even dislike it?
I'm following #SacklerSciComm this morning - wish I could be there in person but so happy they are webcasting https://t.co/zTkqEqajGl
#sacklerscicomm Leshner: "Communication is an acquired skill." How do we get more scientists/institutions to recognize & value the expertise of #scicomm practitioners who can teach them those skills?
Some thoughts from @MayBerenbaum (entomologist), @DrCraigMc (oceanographer) and @dacolon (neuroscientist) on why they communicate about science captured here: https://t.co/8eLG7BtzgE #SacklerSciComm
Elizabeth Christopherson, president of the Reed Allen Foundation first speaker on panel. #SacklerSciComm
Great point by @theNASciences president Marcia McNutt : The science enterprise is not set up to reward the scientists who make the effort to be effective science communicators. #SacklerSciComm
Funders of scicomm part of problem—many use agenda driven #scicomm practices based in persuasion not dialogue #sacklerscicomm

I’m at #sacklerscicomm interested in speaking with Scicomm scholars who want to build capacity in interdisciplinary research DM to connx
Probably Europe is more successful in public engagement, but in my experience, researchers in the US are so much better trained to be *humans* i.e. in talking to people #SacklerSciComm #RRI
Nope, you're not alone! There are so many assumptions/stereotypes out there...as scientists we should challenge these assumptions more! #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/no9Kr4RURU

Christoperson: There's a great need to connect research and practice. #SacklerSciComm
@vgwschutte I think @brossardd has evidence that younger researchers more readily embrace #scicomm, but it's not embraced by all. #SacklerSciComm
And seemed to really only address #diversity (sort of) when prompted by @FromTheLabBench. Probably a question that should be asked in various ways throughout #SacklerSciComm. https://t.co/8Df2J2mvc1
Interesting first panel at #SacklerSciComm; however, I can't get past the fact that the first panel (of 3 older white males) discussed the importance of diversity among researchers & in audiences without acknowledging the lack of diversity on their own panel...
yeah I think are wrong on that point even if young scientists may be more into social media in general - ESP in academia #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/lcTCigbvP0

Getting scholars talking on social media? Here are my tips for everyone: https://t.co/fBRy9C4fUj #SacklerSciComm
I look at the #SacklerSciComm agenda and see very few of those "younger scientists and communicators" in the line-up; distinguished speakers are good, but more diversity of age would be good too.

John Burris: We see a big issue with scientists communicating with each other #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
John Burris Burroughs Wellcome Fund - Everyone feels they are a communicator because they gave a speech or because they talked to people, but of course it doesn't work that way. Important to illicit intellectual curiosity in the audience. #SacklerSciComm
As I follow @theNASciences #SacklerSciComm from afar, I am reminded of the amazing science communicators @keckfutures has recognized in the past 15 years. https://t.co/9K3U32XArG. Thank you #NAKFIcommawards!
Scientists already have huge workloads; we need to give them both the skills and incentive to do #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
John Burris, @BWFUND: It's not just a matter of scientists communicating with the public, it's important for scientists to communicate w/ each other. #SacklerSciComm
"I'm going to communicate with you about how other people are better communicators!" #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/HD8eDixxLg

John Burris of Burroughs Wellcome: BWF sees a big issue in scientists communicating with each other. Also sees "huge oral gap" for young scientists: not taught how to speak effectively.
#sacklerscicomm
What is “effective” #scicomm? Framed here as making society safe for science. What about making science safe for society? Science positivism bias here at #sacklerscicomm
John Burris describes “whimsically illustrated” books targeting middle schoolers as #scicomm; lots of great #sciencecomics work happening, like @jayeperview, @01FirstSecond, & @SquidtoonsComic #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm John Burris: Just giving a speech and talking to people does not make you a successful communicator. --> My reaction as a communication professor: YES! Training in professional talking and listening is necessary for effective #SciComm.
John Burris of Burroughs-Wellcome speaking on their decision making. Edu system has lost emphasis on oral communication. #SacklerSciComm
Burris: Our educational system has moved away from #scicomm (ex. grad talks have been replaced by poster sessions). #SacklerSciComm
John Burris of Burroughs Wellcome: young scholars are less good at communications. Really? #SacklerSciComm
"We've moved away from encouraging graduate students to speak as part of their training - poster sessions instead of seminars etc. Creates an oral skills gap". #SacklerSciComm
Challenge to science communications - Education system has moved away from spoken presentations, moving more toward poster presentation. #SacklerSciComm
“If you communicate science it is important that you can get up in front of people and speak about your science and you understand your audience and you can provide information to the audience in a fashion that they respond to and understand.”-Burris
#SacklerSciComm
Increase of poster sessions, at the expense of actual speaking opportunities, has a negative effect on #scicomm training of young scientists.--John Burris #SacklerSciComm
"Most scientists are closet humans" - bringing the human capacities for accessibility, authenticity and joy into #scicomm Alan Leshner @AAAS #sacklerscicomm
Burris: Important for scientist to able to get up and speak about their research accounting for their audience. Poster sessions don't train that. #SacklerSciComm
Lovely question from floor: how to support the joy and human qualities of great communication? #sacklerscicomm
I mean OK yes getting up in front of ppl is important but "audience" is not always literally AN AUDIENCE in a theater or conference room - poster sessions do provide great opportunities to talk about your research and actually engage in dialogue #sacklerscicomm
John Burris of @BWFUND : Move away from speech classes in HS & toward poster sessions in grad school--> Huge gap among young scis in terms of verbal comms skills #sacklerscicomm

Burris of @BWFUND: @Twitter is best for us. (I have many questions: For which goal(s) and audience(s)? Will have to find @rcc3nc) #SacklerSciComm
This varies between fields, but its definitely getting to be a problem. I did one poster and at least a dozen talks in my graduate career. Definitely not the norm today #SciComm #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/4Xv5vpeqYT
"We've moved away from encouraging graduate students to speak as part of their training - poster sessions instead of seminars etc. Creates an oral skills gap". #SacklerSciComm
going to science festivals and colloquia is fine but scientists need to go where people are. what incentives reward volunteer work at local science fairs? giving presentations or hosting dialogues at senior centers? synagogues? #Sacklerscicomm
@Sarah_Mojarad Poster sessions can be a great #SciComm opportunity - if you use them right. A chance to practice your pitch and revise it on the fly with each visitor to the poster. BUT everyone involved (presenters, visitors, organizers) has to treat them in this way. #SacklerSciComm
@KateBradfordSci Wait. How are poster sessions NOT #SciComm? #SacklerSciComm
Indeed, John Burris underlines the importance of training young scientists to empower them to stand up in front of lay audiences, understand them and speak clearly. No #scicomm is possible without scientists themselves #SacklerSciComm
Important role of #philanthropy: supporting innovative ways of #scicomm and #sciengage. Experimentation from @SciPhilOrg @BWFUND & Rita Allen Fnd #SacklerSciComm
First panel #SacklerSciComm scientists need to do more than #scicomm they need to engage the public. @APLUEngagement https://t.co/yKNSoVUx0u
Many membership organizations (AAAS included!) have science communication as part of their mission #SacklerSciComm
Marc Kastner now speaking. Mission was to compensate for federal funding cuts with philanthropy. #SacklerSciComm
@Mammondy @RockyRohde I agree. Conferences should sure that senior people are walking around and actually engaging with students or early career researchers at poster sessions or do 3-5 min flash talks for poster people to make sure that there is that interaction. But they usually do. #SacklerSciComm
Marc Kastner: Science Philanthropy Alliance is "meeting need to advise philanthropists on how to be most effective in supporting science." Next time they are hiring, they SO need to call me. That sounds like an awesome job! #sacklerscicomm

@alie_astrocyte Just had an awesome conversation with students on Monday though #scistuchat. Very general, but interesting prompts which created lots of good conversations. And only takes half an hour. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
"Experimentation to find out what works with what audience is really critical." #SacklerSciComm
Marc Kastner of @SciPhilOrg: Now up to 26 foundations in the alliance, many of whom have #scicomm in their funding mission. Suggests @ScienceCounts as opportunity to get more info by experimenting. #SacklerSciComm
Yes! Research institutions must broaden how they evaluate faculty research contributions: consider use of research in policy & practice #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/HX4bqAPWQP https://t.co/WCirMRinzF
Great point by @theNASciences president Marcia McNutt : The science enterprise is not set up to reward the scientists who make the effort to be effective science communicators. #SacklerSciComm
@EngageClimate @Sarah_Mojarad also posters are enduring. put them up on campus at minimum! Or take a dept trip to your local high school for an afternoon of poster talks with young students. #sacklerscicomm
Kastner: Science Counts canvassed the public. It's wonderful but not a high priority for the public. Fear actually works with the gov't but not so well with the public. #SacklerSciComm
Marc Kastner: the public thinks science is wonderful, it’s just not a very high priority. #SacklerSciComm
The motivation of hope is more effective than fear in engaging the public. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/HoHAwg2eHm
Elizabeth Christopherson quotes NPR's Joe Palca @joesbigidea "We don't lead with the facts we lead with the story." #SacklerSciComm
"because government funding is always going to be the primary support for basic science research”-Kastner
Really????
#SacklerSciComm
It is fortuitous that @mitpress is releasing a graphic book about communicating science--written and illustrated by a physicist, @asymptotia--the same week of the #SacklerSciComm Colloquia. #thedialoguesbook https://t.co/veLre23qak
Come on #SacklerSciComm, it’s 2017! Yes, social media is important. Let’s get beyond this and consider how that changes our roles as communicators. #scicomm
Kastner @SciPhilOrg: We have commissioned sets of stories on basic research to explain importance, but they haven't had a huge impact on increasing funding yet. :( #sacklerscicomm
#SacklerSciComm is the top trend right now in DC! @theNASciences
Lead with story, not facts #SacklerSciComm
Fear works better for government. Not for scientists. #SacklerSciComm

The panel is channeling my good friend @JBaruchMD who has taught me this - We often lead with the facts, but #scicomm is about the stories #SacklerSciComm
Kastner: Older philanthropists have a longer range view. Younger philanthropists are just beginning. #SacklerSciComm
#Sacklerscicomm is practicing what it preaches... using #socialmedia for #scicomm. So great to see it trending on twitter right now in DC. @theNASciences https://t.co/B9V4B5bNce

"Fear doesn't work with the public." #SacklerSciComm
Necessary team for #Sci Comm on a science issue according to Fischhoff at #SacklerSciComm. Is this the antidote to death of expertise? https://t.co/orWwfVZNQJ
#sacklerscicomm Building the case for basic science research funding: Should we use fear or hope in our #SciComm messaging? Good Q. However, what about not calling it basic research. Does public get that term? What about calling it fundamental research? Any research on that?
Alan Leshner. ‘Know before whom you stand’ #Sacklerscicomm #scicomm @marchforscience https://t.co/hJ0SQqeBTc
@Marcia4Science Kastner: LIGO is a great example. The astronomy community has done this so well #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
.@Marcia4Science: The #Eclipse2017 was a great event. What can scientific community do to find activities that capture public imagination and excitement?
Kastner: Learn from astronomy community to extend elsewhere. #SacklerSciComm
The American public was fascinated with this summer's solar eclipse says NAS President @Marcia4Science. How does #scicomm recreate that around other science? #SacklerSciComm
Is it just me or are the funders @ #SacklerSciComm mainly thinking about science promotion or marketing at best when they say “communication“? What if evidence shows that more of the former decreases trust in evidence? Limiting this to “appreciating the wonders of science“?
Speaking of the public's fascination with the eclipse and Ligo, Kastner says "we have to learn from the astronomy community who has done this (science communications) so well. #SacklerSciComm
If you are interested in the science of science communication, tune in for a 2-day webcast (today and tomorrow) https://t.co/CXxkmV1x3l @theNASciences #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm

"Universe is expanding, but your closet space is not!" Absolutely #SacklerSciComm
@HJFMilMed @KateBradfordSci This sounds like a "Back in my day" opinion that can't be proved. Can anyone show talks are worse now? #SacklerSciComm
An important role of philanthropy is experimentation - supporting the trialling of new ideas, some of which may fail. #SacklerSciComm
Burris: We should be experimenting more, programs don't always succeed. Philanthropies shouldn't be afraid to fail; we learn from that. #SacklerScicomm
Great question on the role of philanthropy in supporting experiments in #scicomm. I've thought of science philanthropy as conservative, but @BWFUND cites a need for more failure - as a measure of success #SacklerSciComm

Is it just me or are the funders @ #SacklerSciComm mainly thinking about science promotion or marketing at best when they say “communication“? What if evidence shows that more of the former decreases trust in evidence? Limiting this to “appreciating the wonders of science“?
YES! John Burris @BWFund - #philanthropy should be nimble, take some risks, and be OK with failure (and learn from it). #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/yHLyDOmRqD
Important role of #philanthropy: supporting innovative ways of #scicomm and #sciengage. Experimentation from @SciPhilOrg @BWFUND & Rita Allen Fnd #SacklerSciComm
A role of philanthropy is that it can take risks, be okay with failure, and work on longer timescale for science #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Burris: Philanthropy should be more nimble than the government. They should even be comfortable with failure. Good, we tried that. Able to try new things. #SacklerSciComm
Attending the NAS Colloquia on Science Communication from my home office. No travel expense to D.C., no GHG guilt. #EngageWithNotAt #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/Jxu1MkhmiC
We, as philanthropists, need to be comfortable with failure in the scicomm space. - John Burris #SacklerSciComm
Kastner: Many areas of private investment where we also need government investment. Philanthropists can take more risk and take longer view, be nimble and act quickly. #SacklerSciComm
What is the role of philanthropy in supporting scientists who wish to write books for the public? The @SloanFoundation has a program for this, but they seem to be in the minority. #SacklerSciComm
Scientists are the only ones who have to always labor under the onus of science. Others can choose to use opinions and disregard science. #SacklerSciComm
“Federal government very good at protecting the taxpayers money...when it comes to funding scientific research.” #SacklerSciComm
By contrast to government funding, philanthropy can afford to take more risks. Also to expect some results on longer time-scales - experimentation take iteration. #SacklerSciComm
Kastner: Government fund is good at protecting the taxpayers' money but that implies they are very conservative. Philanthropy can take more risks. #SacklerSciComm
Elizabeth Christopherson, Rita Allen Foundation: We need more opportunities for philanthropic orgs to get together, talk about best practices, talk about good evaluation measures. #SacklerSciComm
Glucerna Coupons...bargain - Price @$2.00 #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/tX3EGWHYv6
Burris: "Evaluation is the toughest nut to crack" - simplest measures (# of talks, # of activities, etc.) don't really characterize impact. #SacklerSciComm
@jbradleycook are you at #SacklerSciComm?!? Let’s meet up! Km@with @EatTheCrust from the #500WS @500WSBoulder pod.
Burris @BWFUND: evaluation is toughest nut to crack bc simplest measures rarely reflect actual success of what you've done. eg number of hits or citations or even publications do not show impact or long-range effects of an effort. #sacklerscicomm
Excited to be at #SacklerSciComm!
Currently learning about the role philanthropists in #scicomm and #evaluation #NASmember
Marc Kastner of @SciPhilOrg
Burris: It extraordinarily difficult to track long term impact. We mostly only have short-term quantitative measures. Qualitative has been mostly story. #SacklerSciComm
“#Evaluation is a tough nut to crack. It rarely measures the #impact you’ve had. We measure what we can track.” Couldn't agree more! The Q is: What's a better #metric that we should look at then? #SacklerSciComm #analytics
Philanthropists at #SacklerSciComm :Philanthropys should be experimental - and comfortable with failure. Share best practices and maybe failures too - can still be worth sharing. Hear hear.
Christopherson: How can we provide incentives for #scicomm practitioners to use evidence-based research? AGREE
#SacklerSciComm
"Philanthropies should be more comfortable with failure" -John Burris, Burroughs Wellcome Fund #SacklerSciComm 💯!!
#sacklerscicomm Marc Kastner: Role of philanthropy is special bc the fed gov is very good at protecting the taxpayer money when it comes to research. Philanthropy can be more risk-taking, nimble, and act quickly. Any data that shows innovation derived from phil vs. fed money?
Quantitate #evaluation is very difficult in both #scicomm and #pedagogy /#teaching #sacklerscicomm. #qualitative evaluation with #anecdotes and #anecdata are not very effective. We need real experiments for the #science of #scicomm
Burris of @BWFUND says storytelling/qualitative evaluation evidence isn't accepted. But earlier we heard that storytelling is key!
#SacklerSciComm
Role of philanthropy’s to try things that are different. Funders can be nimble and act quickly vs govt grants. #SacklerSciComm
Measures of evaluation rarely measure the real impacts of #scicomm efforts; need to measure qualitative too #storytelling #SacklerSciComm
Burris of @BWFUND: simple measures of evaluation rarely reflect the impact of what you’ve done. We often reduce this to things we can measure (# of pubs, grants, speeches), but it’s extraordinarily difficult to understand broader impacts. #SacklerSciComm
Chrisopherson: Where would you put funding to improve science communication?
Foundations are in a position to try some experiments. #SacklerSciComm
What is #scicomm and #philanthropy doing to diversify #stem #SacklerSciComm @theNASciences @sacnas
Science communication and public engagement so important, we’ve heard here at #SacklerSciComm, but funders say they would put their money on more scicomm “research” not engagement and impact Hmmm...
Need guidance? @EngageClimate kindly shared some of @AAAS #SciComm #SciEngage resources

Sesno: Emphasizes that failure is often a success. Mentions an award for best idea with best intentions that didn't work out. #SacklerSciComm
Great to see this observation at #SacklerSciComm: "Too rarely do we do science". It's shameful how little we turn to experiments & basic scientific method to make decisions in communication.
Add to this summary #SacklerSciComm doc if you'd like! Please leave other people's text, and add your own. https://t.co/EX9LP2o8ve
Measuring impact in scicomm is tough. I'm biased, but longitudinal social network analysis is one way to approach this. #Sacklerscicomm https://t.co/jhU9Gk31ae
Burris: "Evaluation is the toughest nut to crack" - simplest measures (# of talks, # of activities, etc.) don't really characterize impact. #SacklerSciComm
So many of those tweeting at #sacklerscicomm have been on twitter for years but have <5000 tweets, some <3000, some <1000. We need your science - please share more often, promote others as well.
IMPORTANT: Is there a source of coffee during the break? ☕ #SacklerSciComm @theNASEM https://t.co/ZRhDTSYPcy
If I learn anything from #SacklerSciComm, it's names of foundations that have programs for funding #scicomm initiatives. SUPER useful.

Need a google doc? Leave it to me... my office is KING of google docs @LSUCxC @bcarmi1 #SacklerSciComm
@theNASciences I submitted question 25min ago, asking abt status of @theNASEM's conflict-of-interest policy (news reports show routine undisclosed conflicts in Academies' work on opioids, GMOs). The #SacklerSciComm moderator didn't post the question online? #Hmmm https://t.co/WK85LxajGq
I approve of the transition music between sessions. #SacklerSciComm #GimmeSomeTruth
Hi #scicomm! If you’re unable to listen, watch or attend #SacklerSciComm, here’s a great summary of the conference so far. https://t.co/siTwFDtF2n
I'm making notes from #SacklerSciComm: https://t.co/EX9LP2o8ve. Please comment or DM me your gmail if you'd like to edit the doc!
Yes thinking long term is a challenge when there’s effort and resources are involved. Not easy for most to be patient, especially those who want quick rewards. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/bbEfF9hxNC
By contrast to government funding, philanthropy can afford to take more risks. Also to expect some results on longer time-scales - experimentation take iteration. #SacklerSciComm
Great start to the Sackler Colloquia! Next session begins in 15 mins. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/dgVgTTFa1M
Hopefully they take this important issue into consideration when they are sending invitations for their future panels. Many diverse voices out there on #SciComm working hard to be visible.
#sacklerscicomm https://t.co/thB5BecHtv
Crickets in response to a q re: how to build #diversity in scicomm. This is a fundamental issue, & people are working on it, but not well represented on this agenda #sacklerscicomm
I have to go teach a #scicomm class, but hoping next #SacklerSciComm session focuses on question of distribution. Capacity and collaboration are great - but do they carry meaning without scale? I honestly don't know the answer to that question....
Wonderful! Good time to be an indie author! #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/hJp5TfKxTJ
What is the role of philanthropy in supporting scientists who wish to write books for the public? The @SloanFoundation has a program for this, but they seem to be in the minority. #SacklerSciComm
Is the #soundtrack played during the #sacklerscicomm coffee breaks going to be released by @theNASEM? Their #scienceDJ is really good....I mean right now they are playing a song called "Science is Real"..it can be heard over the webcast. #scicomm https://t.co/idQIlTj2uw
Props to #SacklerSciComm for breaking out the @tmbg music ("Science is Real") during the breaks. Never did I think my four-year-old's music taste & work would overlap so much.
@tmbg 'science is real' playing at #sacklerscicomm...
“Know your audience” very important, although not sure many are listening when most approach #scicomm as a mass comm endeavor. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/no5rgB95lj

Nothing wrong with “promotion or marketing” if it is not meant to deceive. There’s lots known in PR and marketing that can inform #scicomm #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/lpd0s4Z5L1
Is it just me or are the funders @ #SacklerSciComm mainly thinking about science promotion or marketing at best when they say “communication“? What if evidence shows that more of the former decreases trust in evidence? Limiting this to “appreciating the wonders of science“?
Yes, it takes a village #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/6O2falgCBl

@inscico Interesting to look at twitter feed around #sacklerscicomm & read all the special interests groups in this space. In many places, yes, ur right, it seems like #scicomm is synonymous w/ promotion & marketing. Is that really the goal here? More effective PR? Public trust?

Science communication and public engagement so important, we’ve heard here at #SacklerSciComm, but funders say they would put their money on more scicomm “research” not engagement and impact Hmmm...
Jerry Davis: Business school as hotbed for social sci. He likes to think of bus. school as estuary, where freshwater of academia meets saltwater of real world. Often it’s just brackish water. #oceanmetaphor #SacklerSciComm
Sesno: It's about characters. Good stories are about the characters. #SacklerSciComm

What is the social science equivalent of climate change? - Gerald Davis #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Gerald Davis: What is the social science equivalent of climate change? -> Vanishing corporations. The number of public corps in the US has dropped by half since 1997. By half is scientifically a lot.
Business school is an estuary: fresh water of academia mixes with salt water of the real world. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/sr9nee0JW0
The number of public corporations in America has dropped by half since 1997. "Scientifically half is a lot!" We have another contender for best line of the day. #SacklerSciComm
"Business school is like an estuary where the freshwater of academia meets the salt water of the real world." #SacklerSciComm
Davis: The business analogy of climate change is about the disappearance of corporations (by 50%). #SacklerSciComm
I have to disagree with GeraldDavis, the social science equivalent of #climatechange is #motivatedreasoning. Its a huge problem that we don't know how to deal with that a lot of people ignore. #sacklerSciComm #scicomm
#sacklerscicomm For 18 yrs we experience science as settled facts and procedures. Hard to switch gears and see science as uncertainty when an adult. Need to break down silos between STEM ed, ISE and scicomm #caise
"Social science problems are complex and they don't convey easily in a tweet." #WhySocialScience #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/1RKZ31IbxP
Davis: New startup, where people work and that will last, have gone down by 30%. #SacklerSciComm
@scicomm_jc @TimothyWSchwab There is solid empirical evidence that the “PR“ we're seeing in #scicomm is seldomly about “relating“ to publics but about informing and persuading them.at best or promoting institutions at worst. #SacklerSciComm
Had a quick break but now we're back with the panel on "Creating a Collaborative Community for the Sciences of Science Communication" #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/N6gO8mWqHh
Davis: The U.S. depended on stable, large scale employers for retirement and benefits. Now more service, career step-stool rather than a ladder. #SacklerSciComm
Psst... #SacklerSciComm
"The social science equivalent of climate change is climate change." (Source: audience member) #scicomm https://t.co/HqTUxmZM8O
Vanishing corporations is a huge problem. As they leave the social programs they provide also vanish (health care, retirement, etc). - Gerald Davis #SacklerSciComm
Yay! The wifi is working better now. Love the #twitter talk. Especially with so many characters, pretty rich conversations. #SacklerSciComm
Speaker Jerry Davis: what is the social science equivalent of climate change? Vanishing corporations, he says. "We are living through a foreseeable social disaster with the collapse of the traditional corporation." #sacklerscicomm
Currently speaking Gerald Davis about "What is the the social science equivalent of climate change? #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/pm1bXYzYLa
Had a quick break but now we're back with the panel on "Creating a Collaborative Community for the Sciences of Science Communication" #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/N6gO8mWqHh
Davis: now, 9 of the 10 largest businesses are retail - "the corporate ladder is more like a stepstool". #SacklerSciComm
Davis: We are living through a foreseeable social disaster. Large companies were easier to regulate [and averaged statistics]. #SacklerSciComm
"We are living through a foreseeable social disaster with the collapse of the traditional corporation. How do we convey this?" - Davis #SacklerSciComm
Even the “enlightened” #scicomm conversation here at #sacklerscicomm teeters precariously on the precipice of evangelism. https://t.co/wRNCpnBq8U
@scicomm_jc @TimothyWSchwab There is solid empirical evidence that the “PR“ we're seeing in #scicomm is seldomly about “relating“ to publics but about informing and persuading them.at best or promoting institutions at worst. #SacklerSciComm
Interesting talk by Jerry David from the University of Michigan. A benefit of large business that i hadn’t thought about. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/4SIB8nJ7TT
Davis: IPO companies don't create many jobs. e.g. a biofirm with 3 people. #SacklerSciComm
It's killing me how many of these speakers have referred to "the general public" today #SacklerSciComm
Interesting talk on impacts of disappearing corporations in USA - if you aren't here, listen in on-line #SacklerSciComm
Jerry Davis, U Michigan "I appeared on NPR 4 times in one week, trying to change policy. Turns out things heard while commuting home have limited influence on policy." #sacklerscicomm
How do you get policy to be informed by the the economy actually works? Publish an academic book" only works if you want to convince your colleagues." Love how Gerald Davis is telling his story to figuring this out #SacklerSciComm

#SacklerSciComm
Gerald Davis may have hit the golden nugget of effective communications - be funny and humble. 😂 #SacklerSciComm
Davis: I tried all the communications methods. Write accessible and short pieces for a reputable outlet like @ConversationUS The Conversation, and then respond to calls from all journalists. #sacklerscicomm
Shout-out by the speaker for The @ConversationUK as a good platform for discussing academic topics with a larger audience with respectful dialogue #SacklerSciComm
Davis: Write short pieces for reputable outlets and talk to journalists #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/lZwcMiZJll
Davis: Points out "The Conversation" - respectful conversation that gets into the right hands. #SacklerSciComm
Shout out to @theconversation ! I agree -- excellent resource of intelligent ideas and discussion #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Jerry Davis is busting myths about how to #SciComm...
Write an academic book...for your colleagues
Write a popular book...for your parents
Go on PBS or NPR...for the Volvo Subaru owners
Write a blog post...no, just no, and definitely don't read the comments
#SacklerSciComm
Big shout-out for @TheConversation at #SacklerSciComm (Don't know who the speaker is. Interesting story, though!)
How to change the dialogue? Gerald Davis: Write accessible & short pieces for a reputable outlet like @TheConversation and respond to calls from any journalist. @JenniferWeeks83

Wow! Didnt know this what happening!! Thanks for the share!!! #scicomm #sciencecommunication #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/OZhTbAFdQZ
I'm following #SacklerSciComm this morning - wish I could be there in person but so happy they are webcasting https://t.co/zTkqEqajGl
Davis: We are moving towards bite size tweet science and I'm not sure where to go with that #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
Gerry Davis: Deans offices and press offices love to see tweet-worthy work, but I’m worried we’ll do more of this at the expense of real science. #SacklerSciComm
“Public policy is informed by stylized facts about how the economy works.” Tweets OK 4 some research comm but need other venues 4 nuanced dialogue - Gerald F Davis #SacklerSciComm
To change the dialogue & have #impact, write short accessible pieces for @ConversationUS & answer every call from reporters #SacklerScicomm
Gerald Davis: To get your message out to the world, short pieces at reputable sources is his (tried and true) method of communication #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Next up, Laurie Weingart is talking about working across disciplinary boundaries in research #SacklerSciComm
Jerry Davis is concerned that we’re “incentivized” to do “tweet-worthy work”, making it harder to communicate nuanced topics. I’d argue that you’ve just gotta adjust your approach. #SacklerSciComm
Jerry Davis shows real examples of trying (and trying again) different channels to reach your #audience. @ConversationUS was the way to go for him, after trying science pubs, mass-media pubs, interviews, & blog posts to get the word out. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/07LThgoRj2
"This tends to work" via Gerald Davis Univ of Mich #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/CwThF07ofy
Great to see #SacklerSciComm trending! Science communication is so important to let everyone know about new research findings and to share the data. And this includes science on Twitter. 👩🔬💡🔬@theNASEM
Gerald Davis: Worried that we're moving more toward "tweet-sized" work rather than regression models. #SacklerScicomm
[I am less convinced than Davis that this is an actual problem..]
Put a “swear jar” on the podium. Put in a dollar for every reference to “the public” or “general public.” Great #scicomm funding strategy #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/9FyX4E7ViB
It's killing me how many of these speakers have referred to "the general public" today #SacklerSciComm
Davis: press offices/deans like tweet-able science stories, but peril lies in the distillation #SacklerSciComm @theNASciences
The reality is that social media is now a big source of news & info - but not exclusive to Twitter. Digital media = chance to communicate in new ways to new audiences. Take advantage of it. #SacklerSciComm
@gmbritton Yeah. #SacklerSciComm How to collaborate? Empathy—and *listening* to stories. To @laniwendtyoung from Samoa, for example, on EuroAmerican arrogance in #scicomm: We're all in the same canoe, but whose canoe is it? This is “the salt water of the real world.” https://t.co/h8Pjc6JYRY

"Communication science effectively requires working across boundaries." #SacklerSciComm via speaker Laurie Weingart (Carnegie Mellon Univ) https://t.co/n3BIkuPILv
@LouWoodley @ConversationUK Not really. It's more like an echo chamber for the activist left in academia to wallow in their own groupthink. A bit like your conference really! #SacklerSciComm
I really appreciate that practioners keep bring mentioned at #sacklerscicomm. They have a central role in #scicomm and often get ignore with the focus on scientists and their audiences.
MY thoughts: Don't devalue social media. You need to meet your audience where they are. Like it or not, Americans look to social media for news and information. #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
Thank goodness for webcasting! I'm looking forward to listening into #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #sciencecommunication https://t.co/L87W3lnQat

"Perceptual gaps are root causes of conflict..." - Laurie Weingart #interdisciplinarycollaborations #SacklerSciComm
@Stephen_Curry @royalsociety FWWIW Live transcript of #SacklerSciComm is very impressive. In their case one damn good typist, I think!
@SeismoSue #SacklerSciComm conference. That talk was on communicating social science issues, in this case the change in the corporate landscape and how it affects social issues like health care and unemployment.
Weingart: Out perspectives come from out backgrounds, experiences, culture. We have perceptual gaps. #SacklerSciComm
Laurie - How to bridge the gap:
Strategy 1
Cognitive Integration - Developing understanding of one another's perspective
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Cognitive integration: I don't have to know what you know, but I need to understand how you come at a problem. Stepping in someone else's shoes. #SacklerScicomm
I’m still not clear on how anyone in scicomm measures ‘impact’ or ‘engagement’ when it comes to media. help me understand. #SacklerSciComm
@LouWoodley IMO it is often best for specialists to work on their own, while talking to other disciplines. Multi-author papers too often have weak quality control #SacklerSciComm
How to bridge perceptual gaps #1: Cognitive integration - develop understanding of one another's perspective #SacklerSciComm via L. Weingart https://t.co/xrzvTkANOp
Weingart: Cognitive integration helps bridge perceptual gaps. Take a step in someone else's shoes to understand their perspective. #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
If a conference emphasizes the power of #storytelling, it would be nice if presentations started w/a #story & not with "My research is focusing on..." and "I am currently working on...". Let's make sure we #practice what we preach. #sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Weingart: Deeply held values can be difficult to resolve. #SacklerSciComm
Strategy 2
Affective Integration
How we feel about each other (Do we have trust, respect and liking?)
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Weingard: yes, yes, yes!! Everything about this talk on interdisciplinary teams is spot on, but not explicitly discussed in interdisciplinary teams #SacklerSciComm (plus beautiful presentation visuals!)
"I don't have to know what you know, but I have to know how you come at a problem so we can work together." #SacklerSciComm
If I value what you bring to the table, if I trust you, and if I respect you, I'm more likely to listen to you. #SacklerScicomm
A modest proposal: what if we made scientific articles fun to read?attn: journal editors, cc: senior authors #SacklerSciComm
trust, respect and liking a person don't co-vary- important point for communication from Weingart #sacklerscicomm
Interdisciplinary teams: Bridging gaps through affective integration requires trust, respect, liking - seems obvious, but try finding all 3 in every member of your work team #SacklerSciComm @theNASciences
How to bridge perceptual gaps #2 "Affective Integration" which involves trust (are you reliable?), respect (do others hold you in high regard), liking (do others want to socialize with you?). via L. Weingart #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/wbyYh6p7vU
Collaboration and conflict
Is conflict good or bad for collaboration? Teams with conflict can be more innovative, but it can also be disruptive.
Major key - How is the conflict expressed?

#SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience

Weingart: Important elements. Trust (can I rely on you), respect (do I hold you in high regard), and like (do I want to spend time with this person.). #SacklerSciComm
There's no one answer - evaluating impact depends on your goals. If you never articulate what you are hoping to acheive...you'll have a hard time judging how successful your efforts are. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/g5udCo3ax0

Conflict expression is a function of directness and intensity. Can manifest in 4 ways #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Exactly! #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8JZk1snCtJ
If I trust, respect and like you, I’m more likely to listen to you. #scicomm #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/XRaK9cSm5O
Conflict expression can be expressed with two axes - directness and intensity. Direct and intense = argumentative. Non-direct and high intensity = undermining behaviours e.g. things like persistent teasing. #SacklerSciComm
Public policy is informed by stylized facts about how the economy works- what if issue can’t be conveyed in 3 bullets? Davis #SacklerSciComm
Bridging gaps is about Trust, Respect, and Liking the person - it’s hard to have all 3 #SacklerScicomm
Weingart: Arguments - expression with intense and direct disagreements. #SacklerSciComm
Conflict can be good for teams but it depends on how it is expressed - directness and intensity matter #SacklerScicomm
1. High intensity and high directness - Argue #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
“Small is beautiful if you love inequality,” says Gerald Davis at #sacklerscicomm
Undermining others during moments of conflict end up dissolving team cohesion. The best way to communicate effectively is to be open and willing to hear other sides. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/kq8ngdS4zA https://t.co/L9lznb9RoR
There are many ways to undermine someone else. You can ignore them, you can dismiss them, you can tease them. [I would add: you can be condescending - don't do this at home..] #SacklerSciComm
How conflict “looks” in interdisciplinary teams #teamwork #scicomm #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/2GHPKedabt
I really like how Laurie W. is going through the directness vs. intensity graph to explain conflict expression. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/njzdobOtIW
It would be great to have a more robust conversation about goals of #scicomm and #sciengage, in all their messy variety, here at #SacklerSciComm
Weingart: When disagreement isn't as direct but still intense, we have undermining behavior. This includes teasing as a method to exclude others. #SacklerSciComm
Same is true for public perceptions of scientists! They might respect but not like scientists... which has implications for public trust in science. Can't wait to hear from Susan Fiske on that. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/hXIlpImmnJ
Bridging gaps is about Trust, Respect, and Liking the person - it’s hard to have all 3 #SacklerScicomm
"The gold standard" => DEBATE: high directness and low intensity #SacklerSciComm via Laurie Weingart https://t.co/rDeH7sDKUS
#sacklerscicomm Laurie Weingart: Trust, liking, and respect are all essential for interdisciplinary #SciComm teams to bridge the perceptual gap of different disciplines who work together. We also need more cognitive integration (understanding each other perspectives).
Good point, but fun for whom? K-12? Grad students? Bench scientists? Journo's? All see "fun" differently. *Interesting* and *engaging* narratives imbued w/ relevant facts = *fun* for most people, in different ways. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/6zZ6xTaAoc

#SacklerSciComm @theNASciences https://t.co/bCJtCiRKGy
@JTspartz More important - for what goal? Is this an attempt to get people to like science? Or to educate? Or to engage? Because science of #scicomm suggests this wouldn't be useful for 1st or 3rd goal. #SacklerSciComm
@FromTheLabBench That's a view I've seen for polarised topics, but which comes first: the polarising of the topic (activists, etc), or the people's views on scientists? (I tend to lean to former in the case of polarised topics.) #SacklerSciComm
3. Disguise - low intensity and low directness #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
As the (proud) wife of a paramedic, interested to hear study finding EMTs teasing correlates with positive team cohesion - comports with my lived experience!
#SacklerSciComm @theNASciences
Then this should change. #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/9YFvGplBmH
@scicomm_jc @TimothyWSchwab There is solid empirical evidence that the “PR“ we're seeing in #scicomm is seldomly about “relating“ to publics but about informing and persuading them.at best or promoting institutions at worst. #SacklerSciComm
Interdisciplinary collaborations need to bridge gaps through cognitive & affective integration, debate & deliberation. #SacklerSciComm
4. Debate - "The Gold Standard" - high directness and low intensity #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Guston: Is the communication framed for decision makers? Is it credible? #SacklerSciComm

What is the risk of making science "tweetable"?
Does normalizing bite size science inadvertently make many people less likely to dig into more complex - but critical - topics?

1. Move beyond the deficit model;
2. Consider the ideologies and world views of your audience;
3. Understand framing; and
4. Affect/narrative are becoming increasingly important.

Kathleen Tierney indicating scis can be advocates if they don’t appear to advocate for specific policies - but we’re people too. I’m gonna advocate for policies that I, as a person, believe in! #SacklerSciComm

Our last speaker for this panel is Kathleen Tierney. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
You know what science communications needs? Marketing. It pains me to say that, but we don't need more impact analysis. We need to make our communication more appealing. #SacklerSciComm

You can be both #passionate and #objective as a scientists - they do not, and SHOULD NOT counteract each other #SacklerScicomm

Passion + objectivity are NOT mutually exclusive. Passion does not equal advocacy. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
@CocoNell2 JME you can be passionate about objective. (I'm not playing with words - seen plenty of examples of it!) #SacklerScicomm
Dance your PhD and other things like that are very engaging. My students went wild over a rap video that chemistry students produced. Went viral on social media, people sharing it in my network that are not normally tuned into science #SacklerSciComm
Passion and objectivity don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive; the fine boundary here is being an advocate, which could harm credibility -- Kathleen Tierney #SacklerSciComm #scicomm

Issue of being objective raised at #SacklerSciComm. IMHO facts need to underline any #scicomm BUT displaying emotion should be encouraged!
Scientists talking about how @Newsweek and @newrepublic can't afford to pay reporters anymore, so scientists can get published if they write for free. Good for scientists to reach out. Bad for objective journalism. 📝📝 #scicomm @AHCJ #journalism #SacklerSciComm
'Science is now political whether we like it or not --- in social sciences this is almost inescapable' #socialscience #sacklerscicomm
#SacklerSciComm I somewhat disagree-#science and scientists should aim to provide solutions to problems, the implementation of these solutions is business for legislators. And who's tho say that a scientist can't become a legislator? Finally science based legislation! I'd take it
We can’t separate the policy and the science anymore. Science has become politicized. #advocacy should not be a bad word #SacklerScicomm
Question/discussion point for panel:
I'd love to hear Davis discuss his thoughts of social media in the context of #scicomm. He seemed rather negative to "tweetable science". #SacklerSciComm
Tierney emphasizes passion & credibility in science aren’t mutually exclusive. Gerald Davis laments politicization of science. #SacklerSciComm
Scientists have always been advocates of policy—since, maybe the Renaissance and certainly since the Enlightenment. #SacklerSciComm
@sciencequiche Jerry Davis touched on that #SacklerSciComm
Tierney: research shows you can be a passionate scientist and not be perceived as advocate. Davis: don't know if we can any longer separate science and politics (whether you want to separate them or not). Weingart: iterative process of science gets lost in comms #SacklerSciComm
“Science is cumulative; the press just wants sound bites, so that hurts us” “disclaimer... we need a claimer!” #SacklerSciComm

Agree! We cannot just admire the problem. Policymakers want solutions. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/XqlWZeZvMX
#SacklerSciComm I somewhat disagree-#science and scientists should aim to provide solutions to problems, the implementation of these solutions is business for legislators. And who's tho say that a scientist can't become a legislator? Finally science based legislation! I'd take it

Shout-out from David Guston on #DanceYourPhD science dance competition. Watch #sciart videos here: https://t.co/8GXNJSetxM [for those in the room, please mute!] My favorite is Pop, Dip and Spin on biosensors #SacklerSciComm
Would love to see more scientists recognize science (who/what gets funding, what research questions we ask, what we recognize as knowledge) is inherently political. So many times we skirt this issue #SacklerSciComm
Can’t escape mention of p-values even at this Colloquia #SacklerSciComm @Lester_Domes @stephensenn @METRICStanford @StatModeling @BrianNosek @lakens @EJWagenmakers
#sacklerscicomm Laurie Weingart: The idea that science is cumulative & long-term is often lost on the public and press. Public & press may focus on one-shot studies rather than the cumulative. This is detrimental to public understanding of science.
Which is more important: the message or the trust of the messenger? Both have important roles in #science communication & effective communication cannot exist without the incorporation of both. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/kq8ngdS4zA https://t.co/0lebkz3gaJ
Jerry Davis @vanishingcorp at #SacklerSciComm recommending @ConversationEDU as great medium for getting research to attention of the "the right people" #scicomm
Davis stated the inevitability that science is politically charged #SacklerSciComm does it have to be that way? @brookesimler R we in an echo chamber here? Can’t we break out? @RadioFreeTom https://t.co/JXUaiVyUU5

#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/ILDlcmWKWf
Agreed! This conversation is woefully short on positive and possible roles of journalism in #scicomm. Lots of work to be done (holler, @MetcalfURI), but lots of innovation there, too #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/oDDUmMunB5
Scientists talking about how @Newsweek and @newrepublic can't afford to pay reporters anymore, so scientists can get published if they write for free. Good for scientists to reach out. Bad for objective journalism. 📝📝 #scicomm @AHCJ #journalism #SacklerSciComm
@BioBeef I’d say it does, unfortunately. Could wish more thought like Marie Curie: "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." #SacklerSciComm
interesting the results of focus groups, goes to show that we should check our assumptions in check, and place more emphasis on really knowing your audience. #SacklerSciComm
@drkeegansawyer I learned that only white people go to the beach and are at tsunami risk #sacklerscicomm

"Stylized Facts" versus alternative facts. What's the difference? Are 'stylized facts' ok to use in #SciComm? #SacklerSciComm
Question: How much 'ethnic' differences in perspective on Sue Nami video is due to absence of diversity in the characters? #SacklerSciComm

Question: How much 'ethnic' differences in perspective on Sue Nami video is due to absence of diversity in the characters? #SacklerSciComm
So many questions for this panel. Discussion is key to understanding #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
@gmbritton Shameless self promotion: We have a blog post on this exact question https://t.co/RVpdamjaau #SacklerSciComm
Relevance, #SharedConcerns & values drives relationships : communities find alignment of sorts difficult. #SciComm is not immune to this. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/ZHoGkjmcPB

Which is why education system should make sure young children understand the science method and conduct. Even if not growing up as scientists, this should help them understand why sometimes science seems like it just doesn't deliver or contradicts itself. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/78Pb6X6NPc
#sacklerscicomm Laurie Weingart: The idea that science is cumulative & long-term is often lost on the public and press. Public & press may focus on one-shot studies rather than the cumulative. This is detrimental to public understanding of science.
Audience member from Kenya: all morning we've heard "understand your audience" but many points are still cultural-background-specific today. Needed message. #sacklerscicomm
Davis: There's real economics and stylized economic facts. The latter is a very simplified and unrealistic view of how the economy actually works. #SacklerSciComm

@LizNeeley .. and what is valued in the conversation among different audiences #SacklerScicomm
Follow #SacklerSciComm for thought-provoking tweets from 3rd conference on “Science of Science Communication”
Fabulous question from Kenyan scientist / science communicator re: challenges for funders/collaborators in understanding audience/community (and sounds like, ignoring the groups on the ground who are embedded in those communities) #sacklerscicomm
Dear #SacklerSciComm, I'm Alexandra and I'm from Russia. Out of curiosity: if there are my fellow countrymen, get in touch! Or am I alone?:(
Do these Russian bots trolling the #SacklerSciComm know Halloween is over?
It's a mistake that one science message can serve to be seen, heard and understood by all types of people. #scicomm must get it's head out of a Mass communication point of view #SacklerSciComm
All I keep thinking about is getting K-12 kids and seniors into our next student poster session - students talking to faculty, a 4th grader and a grandmother - at the same time! #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/vobLtFY1Dm
@Sarah_Mojarad Poster sessions can be a great #SciComm opportunity - if you use them right. A chance to practice your pitch and revise it on the fly with each visitor to the poster. BUT everyone involved (presenters, visitors, organizers) has to treat them in this way. #SacklerSciComm
Doing Science is important, communicating it too. Susi is attending the #SacklerSciComm conference in DC to gain insight into the most novel trends of #scicomm. https://t.co/Y7hK1xW1PN
Any lab in the US is usually staffed by grads and post docs from 5 - 10 different cultures. In response to questions about the need for diversity. #SacklerSciComm
great point by WOC African scientist about why *who the messenger is* matters in #scicomm. Very salient given the honestly troubling demographics of the room. #sacklerscicomm
#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/QW8fHr1afh
Question
Active STEM researchers:
If provided with relevant training/professional dev't, would you *rather* engage with broad audiences via:
(@ reply for "other")
This question really points out the value of including more practitioner perspectives with diverse backgrounds #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8Qkb9VkzHK
Fabulous question from Kenyan scientist / science communicator re: challenges for funders/collaborators in understanding audience/community (and sounds like, ignoring the groups on the ground who are embedded in those communities) #sacklerscicomm
Re: Twitter question- But is the problem is complacency? #SacklerSciComm
Oh no no no Laurie Weingart "I always say if you can explain your science to your mother..." You all KNOW how I feel about that. #sacklerscicomm
@Sarah_Mojarad Direct quote? Context? Appears to be a predetermined stance against scalability if I go on #SocMedia & via #SciComm. #SacklerSciComm
Hey #SacklerSciComm: we're holding a storytelling event (do #scicomm rather than learn about it) in March. Learn more over lunch with @vgwschutte in the West Court, wearing a navy dress with colorful, horizontal stripes. She's super friendly! https://t.co/JHTVrJDiTK
Attn #scicomm'ers, we have THE event for you: OCEANDOTCOMM, Mar 15-20. Come tell an amazing story w us! https://t.co/RyKNtvEg1E #odotcomm18
Teaching #scicomm with the science is the best way to change the complacency in #stem #sacklerscicomm
Sesno: Puts out a question from Twitter on how to end complacency in science. #SacklerSciComm
Great piece thinking critically about TED Talks as a form of science communications: https://t.co/IiEtqY6P9l #SacklerSciComm @SustainableNano
True, any given lab will have 5-10 different cultures, but odds are it's the same 5-10 different cultures across labs. There are still a huge number of cultures that are underrepresented in STEM fields. #SacklerSciComm
How to end crisis of complacency in science? Tierney: change reward system in academia #SacklerSciComm
Is there a crisis of complacency within science? And is it tied to the reward system in academia? Resounding Yes from the audience. Current topic at #SacklerSciComm
From @ConversationUS to @HBCUresearch magazine, diverse approaches to science communication matters. #SacklerSciComm
@kenskeldon How does this compare/contrast with what’s going on at #SacklerSciComm?
Communication and engagement should be baked into tenure process in academia. We need to change T&P #sacklerscicomm
Yes, yes, teaching communication skills, start form undergrad or even high school! Good communication skills is the most important lesson we can teach at any level! #SacklerSciComm
And raises the question to what extent our data from #scicomm research is biased by lack of inclusion? #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/xvjaEaMNwS
This question really points out the value of including more practitioner perspectives with diverse backgrounds #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8Qkb9VkzHK
@franksesno asks “how do we break the complacency of science?” Kathleen Tierney responds “we need to change reward process in academia” #sacklerscicomm
Lots of applause for "We need to change the reward system in academia" #SacklerSciComm
Yes! “We need to change the reward system in academia” and include rewards for comms skills. Kathleen Tierney thank you! #SacklerSciComm
Kathleen Tierney - "The reward system needs to change in academia" #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Sum up on the #SacklerSciComm session on #collaboration: Teach passion, teach the skills to communicate to someone who is not an expert, teach how to solve a real problem in the world, change the reward system in academia.
#SacklerSciComm (2/2) https://t.co/Wh4dJOThEC
2/2 I know there are not all the #scicomm options. I'm specifically interested in researchers' interest in these options. Thanks.
"The first litmus test to explaining #scicomm is testing to your family, kids, and friends who are not scientist" #SacklerSciComm
Answers: Curriculum changing wanting to change things to just finding a job. Teaching communication. Changing the reward system in Academia. #SacklerSciComm
Telling overheard comment from livecast: "I would NOT have done .... before tenure" #sacklerscicomm
“This is going to sound very blue skies, but we need to change the reward system.” - Kathleen Tieney, met with APPLAUSE 👏🏼 @ #SacklerSciComm
Crisis in complacency of academics? Not what I see in our @COMPASSscicomm workshops. For most the question is no longer why but how? Need to scale up training in #GradSciCom & value & incentives within academia #SacklerSciComm
@SunshineMenezes Science & politics were ever separated; when? Which epoch? 😅 Both are bound to societal concerns, shared environmental concerns or bounty. #SciComm is merely a medium for transmission of science! #SacklerSciComm
But how?? #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/VN4giJNMbm
Lots of applause for "We need to change the reward system in academia" #SacklerSciComm
@BioBeef Last used that quote in a post about vaccine "discussions" in comments on social media - applies there too, I feel https://t.co/kUbLrkvUTF #SacklerSciComm
Wonderful statement on interdisciplinarity: "Discoveries occur at the boundaries of disciplines. Diversity has positive effect on quality and on influence of the science.."

Whether I'm at a symposium about #openscience (my day job) or about #scicomm, I inevitably hear the same refrain to mass applause: "We need to change the reward system for academia"
So let's get with the program! #SacklerSciComm
@CocoNell2 Difficult to imagine them ever being separated, no? Communications perhaps lends an appearance or perception - or simply adds to one’s understanding of this dynamic? #SacklerScicomm
#sacklerscicomm Kathleen Tierney: Culture of complacency in #SciComm will not change until we change the rewards system in academia & until we bake comm & engagement into the T&P process. 100% YES! I didn't start my interest in comm & engage until post-tenure! I'm not the only 1

#SciComm w/o emotion is like maths w/o logic. Do either seem plausible? Engaging or realistic? #AudienceCentered req’s our empathetic nuances in #SciComm. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/IeRzKfynii
Issue of being objective raised at #SacklerSciComm. IMHO facts need to underline any #scicomm BUT displaying emotion should be encouraged!
. @story_collider sighting at the #sacklerscicomm !!
Probably have to frame this in a functional way to the #SacklerSciComm audience -- if you were more diverse, you would be less terrible at communicating to a diverse public. https://t.co/ElMKvJOujs

🙄 #SacklerSciComm will never accomplish anything if we start from the assumption that science and politics were ever once, or could ever be, separate. #tired https://t.co/JsyK8LBMzr
Tierney: research shows you can be a passionate scientist and not be perceived as advocate. Davis: don't know if we can any longer separate science and politics (whether you want to separate them or not). Weingart: iterative process of science gets lost in comms #SacklerSciComm
“She Blinded Me With Science” playing at #SacklerSciComm right now...
What happens to credibility if you do not take a position on passion/emotion? #AudienceCentered req’s our empathetic dialog, a natural discourse w/ people. W/O it, people will not trust or enter relationships. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/po0Bxo323p
What happens to credibility if you take a position on passion vs objectivity? If scientists don't show passion why would anyone else care? The importance of the Message vs the Messenger. #SacklerSciComm
@joshkking yeah and actually sometimes a strong effort to be or appear nonpartisan/nonpolitical can end up being political #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm ,'l for any help for your #resume and #cv and #acceptance for college @help33r & @mojood0 can help you with that .. good luck .....
@_beccaharrison Hear, here! 👂🏼 Why avoid what our audiences experience in their understanding of science & politics? Makes no sense, #amIRight? #SacklerSciComm #SciComn
Are any of these enthusiastic #scicomm philanthropists willing to fund a redesign of the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia logo? #SacklerSciComm
@rickloverd: are you the clever DJ behind this #SacklerSciComm ? :)
For two seconds we thought "Carl Spackler" was trending... #SacklerSciComm That would be a totally different event. https://t.co/nk6aYSqTAk
@SunshineMenezes Dear, that is dreadful, but what did organizers anticipate? Were they being #AudienceCentered & in touch w/ recent societal upticks?! Effective #SciComm prepares, researches & includes such things! #SacklerScicomm
Common refrain @ #scicomm gatherings that needs to be communicated up to uni admin leaders! Are they out there listening to #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/tGysNVR8v3
Whether I'm at a symposium about #openscience (my day job) or about #scicomm, I inevitably hear the same refrain to mass applause: "We need to change the reward system for academia"
So let's get with the program! #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm: thanks for your tweets! Wish I was there for the great discussions happening!
@Mammondy Now THERE is a culture-shifting thought! I mean, why consider the value in being #AudienceCentered, right? How could we stay entrenched w/ blinders in a rapidly-evolving society of science, politics & SciComm?! 😏 #SacklerSciComm
@girlscientist Every year, someone at #SacklerSciComm seems determined to stick a foot in a mouth. Every. Year.
Follow #SacklerSciComm for ideas on the science of #scicomm. Ave seen some great tips already via Twitter.
@drkeegansawyer @Sarah_Mojarad THE question that speaks to having an aduencw in the center, with aims of #RelationshipBuilding, & grounded in effective #SciComm strategy planning! #SacklerSciComm
@LizNeeley @LizNeeley, there’s an excellent point abt the value of having an#AudienceCentered stance when building a colloquia program. Shouldn’t #SciComm practitioners deserve such an approach? #SacklerSciComm
@Sarah_Mojarad As The song goes, “Same as it ever was...” meaning, the onus of #SciComm format/messsging remains in the hands of communicator: why not start w/ #AudienceCentered planning? That’ll frame #SocMedia lengths/context/etc. #SacklerSciComm
#Cimmunications101: applies equally to #SciComm, #SciPolicy, #HigherEdComms...ALL Comms begin w/ this gold nugget of #AudienceCentered approach! #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/1c09F7ojMR
If I trust, respect and like you, I’m more likely to listen to you. #scicomm #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/XRaK9cSm5O
@theNAEng @FromTheLabBench Not exactly. Depends entirely upon the culture in which the team dynamic & communications are happening - #CulturalValues dictate how ppl respond to conflict, Q’s of respect or hierarchy, values of authority figures & more.#SacklerSciComm
@CocoNell2 AND cultures prioritize these three values differently: those Q’s of how people deal w/ ambiguity, working in a feminine culture, long-term vs short-term time perspectives impact your point. #SciComm is not immune either. #SacklerSciComm
@SunshineMenezes Tied to race and class issues that few people are comfortable discussing let alone in a public forum. Ask yourself how did I get to this place and why? #sacklerscicomm
Looks like there’s more spam than content on the #SacklerScicomm hashtag at the moment - wonder if anyone’s noticed, or if they’re too busy talking to realize ...
@Sarah_Mojarad Awesome! I wished we could attend with our 2 - times awarded #Science #comics for literacy & #scicomm ! #SacklerSciComm ! https://t.co/lML21hRc0Z
Yes. That's why this article is so great: https://t.co/OM48bNQmHa #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/xuZXtRX76W
Would love to see more scientists recognize science (who/what gets funding, what research questions we ask, what we recognize as knowledge) is inherently political. So many times we skirt this issue #SacklerSciComm
@CocoNell2 @FromTheLabBench This measurement planning is also best we’ll-discussed/fleshed our at beginning of #SciComm campaign or research dissemination, e.g. AB testing? small panel impressions? smas & format of measurements are crucial. #SacklerSciComm

I'm seeing a lot of #SacklerSciComm conversation about how to broach diversity largely on racial/gender lines. Wanted to also throw out there a #STEMed perspective - #SciComm diversity through diff modes of engaging/learning: hands-on, problem-based, #citSci, local issues, etc.
#SacklerSciComm will the event be available online afterwards? I failed to get the day off. I just tried to join but is lunch time. Of course, SciComms need food :)
@LouWoodley Something I don’t see following the #sacklerscicomm hashtag is how far we’ve come which is very important. #SciComm has exploded since I was a grad student - which was a just a little more than a decade ago. We should be very encouraged by that!

So far, I'm disheartened to see nothing really novel or bold (in my opinion) in #SacklerSciComm followed by photos of all-male, all-boomer panels - can't help but feel like our field is stalled, recycling old straw in an old broom. https://t.co/KzdSAIckAO

Did you know that @theNASciences has a program exploring intersections of science, art and culture? We organize interdisciplinary salons called #DASER, #sciart exhibitions, readings of science-themed plays and more! All free and open to the public. #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
@Sheril_ @LouWoodley Really glad you raised this - yes, we see far more attention. But how do we know we are doing better? Are we reaching more people? a more diverse audience? are fellow citizens better informed? How are we doing vis a vis our challenges? #SacklerSciComm @brookesimler
@DoctorZen #ouch What does this say about the colloquia program, its program Committee & funders? Where is the #AudienceCentered approach in this rapidly-evolving society & her diversity? #SciComm must reflect this or face the consequences. #SacklerSciComm
@2020science Agreed. Sign of the #SocMedia times & bot usage. I’m busy filtering, re-thinking a reply & checking sources carefully! #eek #SacklerSciComm
@HowardGobstein @LouWoodley @brookesimler When I was new to Duke in 2007, their traditional comms team warned me not to blog about Duke science. In 2017, I’m running #scicomm workshops @michiganstateu w @JohnBesley to train scientists to tell stories. Yes, we’ve come a v long way. #SacklerSciComm
@joshkking I don't suppose anyone has mentioned viewpoint diversity at #SacklerSciComm ?
https://t.co/ZHbexTdKOO
Not going to lie - I would like to see these #scioscicomm panels and researchers at #sacklerscicomm include more early career researchers. I hope their Building Capacity for Scicomm awards when to some young peeps.
This is why we need visible opportunities for everyone to #scicomm, while not putting on URMs all the responsibility to fix the system (esp vs tenure/prof time demands). Thoughts? @ACSDiversity @AcsWcc @acs_cwd @ACS_IC @ACS_Outreach #SacklerSciComm #wishIwerethere https://t.co/hAeMuTVgU6
great point by WOC African scientist about why *who the messenger is* matters in #scicomm. Very salient given the honestly troubling demographics of the room. #sacklerscicomm
@Sheril_ @HowardGobstein @LouWoodley @brookesimler @michiganstateu @JohnBesley I'd like to agree, but years have passed & progress is mired in reticence, time priority debates, value of #SciComm efforts towards tenure, lack of #SciComm training across the board,,, #SacklerSciComm
@2020science However, I'll grant progress in many areas - without reservation. Still, pockets where #SciComm is not thriving lend free reign to create #EchoChambers or stand pat on 'time-tested methods'...if you catch my drift? #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm Soundtrack FTW!
@ocaptmycapt @sciencequiche @neiltyson @BillNye @SirDavidBBC Now how do we make this happen? #SacklerSciComm
Speaker Laurie Weingart @lrwpgh of @CarnegieMellon definitely understands the importance of strong visuals in effective science communication. Great slides! #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/LaShE3bHy5
@JessicaHullman @theNASEM All the cool kids #SacklerSciComm
@RWSmolensJr @HowardGobstein @LouWoodley @brookesimler @michiganstateu @JohnBesley Disagree. When I was a grad student, my career trajectory didnt exist. Over last many years I’ve consulted w many institutions developing #scicomm, journalism, policy interdisciplinary degree programs. Can we improve? Of course. But we’ve made great progress #SacklerSciComm
Lunch conversations #sacklerscicomm: (1) there needs to be more diversity; (2) we need to hear from more practitioners of #scicomm; (3) the incentive structure for academics REALLY needs to change.
Next up, Marshalling the troops: How can traditional disciplines help build the scale of research in science communication? #sacklerscicomm #scicomm

@Sheril_ @HowardGobstein @LouWoodley @brookesimler @michiganstateu @JohnBesley #SciComm didn't exist in my undergrad or grad times. At that time, I was asked by Sci's to 'promote' their work- irrelevant point. There was the need for what we all provide & w/ whom we need to interact with. Much has changed, but too little response to.... #SacklerSciComm
Hearing about an interdisciplinary project about energy and #climatechange #SacklerSciComm

How not to give a presentation: throw up a text dense slide and then read it to us verbatim #sacklerscicomm
OMG! Those slides! #SacklerSciComm
A collaborative presentation from Wandi Bruine de Bruin and #NASmember Granger Morgan on public policy and perceptions around #energy at #SacklerSciComm. Watch online! https://t.co/gFJJE7fkOa https://t.co/Qc3lQw54wk
Are you following along with #SacklerSciComm? Watch here: https://t.co/4WcB45YyXO
@JasonBardi great to see you at #SacklerSciComm!
Some discussion this morning at #SacklerSciComm about the power of sites like The Conversation -- if you like #scicomm that's driven by scientists, check out @massivesci!
Yes, yes, and yes #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/rKydfH0bEj
Lunch conversations #sacklerscicomm: (1) there needs to be more diversity; (2) we need to hear from more practitioners of #scicomm; (3) the incentive structure for academics REALLY needs to change.
I just tuned into #SacklerSciComm and, uh, they're literally reading slides. At a #scicomm conference.
I think our first #scicomm test after #SacklerSciComm should be training these researchers on how to create ppt slides. #facetious #thankgoodnessitsgreatinfo
Attending #SacklerSciComm today and tomorrow. I hope all y'all others are taking notes. I am not very good at that. Glad to see so many social scientists here today talking about communication science.
This from a symposium on excellence in #scicomm. AGAIN. How does this happen at #sacklerscicomm every year? https://t.co/x3haCY7gV9
Noooooooo! Please don’t read from your PowerPoint ! #SacklerSciComm
Agreed. And would like to see more practitioner focus at #sacklerscicomm too https://t.co/T33fX2KGEi
Not going to lie - I would like to see these #scioscicomm panels and researchers at #sacklerscicomm include more early career researchers. I hope their Building Capacity for Scicomm awards when to some young peeps.
Granger Morgan and Wandi Bruine de Bruin are now speaking about communicating with the public about energy #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Haha I know right? May be the thought is for the hearing impaired - what I say is what you read :D #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/W9Ge2F30AI

@Sarah_Mojarad "Traditional disciplines" as in what, #communications #journalism #PublicRelations #DigitalMedia #advertising...what? #SciComm & esp. social media are interwoven for bringing audiences rich stories abt science research. #SacklerSciComm
OMG! Those Communication sheets! #SacklerSciComm
Have reported probably 30-40 accounts posting nothing but spam in the #SacklerSciComm tag… would encourage others frustrated with the bots to also hit report then block.
Speaking of collaboration - Would be nice to see alternating talks from researchers and #scicomm practitioners. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/34cVGjYiHs
Agreed. And would like to see more practitioner focus at #sacklerscicomm too https://t.co/T33fX2KGEi
@RickBorchelt esp since they've all been talking about how they're the ones who best understand and are enthusiastic about #scicomm #SacklerSciComm
@FromTheLabBench I'd like to see that panel #SacklerSciComm
@FromTheLabBench Taking as a given that PowerPoint/Keynote/etc. aren't going away...what are some good examples that you've seen?
Some tips from @aaas @_SciComm: https://t.co/mEVWlTvFqc
#SacklerSciComm
For some reason watching #SacklerSciComm, the gap between #scicomm professionals and #scicomm researchers is hitting me REALLY hard. Scicomm researchers - do you actively seek out scicomm training? Because you should.
When communicating #climatechange the bare bones info you need is this #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/fVL30wD1ay
@RickBorchelt TFW a rich #PassataSotto says it all. Glad to see you are involved, Rick. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
What I'm thinking about these days: credibility and that little blue check mark after Twitter names. @verified #scicred #SacklerSciComm #sciofscicomm https://t.co/UgZAK3jq9H
Tierney describing “hierarchies of credibility” in sci - disciplines, institutions, race & gender all affect perceived credibility of individual scis #SacklerSciComm
...study showed that to help people adapt to flooding threat, it's more efficient not to talk about #climatechange, but to focus on the concrete models of adaptation - Granger Morgan at #SacklerSciComm. Here you are with evidence-based #scicomm. You might dislike it, but it works
Looking forward to new insights this week at The Science of Science Communication III at @theNASciences in Washington D.C. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/M0Bdn1Y2QD
@girlscientist Hear, here! 👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽 ~ spread it far and wide, please! #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
The amount of bot spam coming into the #SacklerSciComm tag is simply stunning.
Interesting books mentioned at #SacklerSciComm esp Davis’s Vanishing American Corporation, implications 4 health, labor, policy, econ #sdoh https://t.co/HpUkBy4yYd
@FromTheLabBench I also hate the term “lay audience” & thunk it should be completely eliminate from our vocabulary. #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerScicomm Communicating the problem is common sense. Communicating the persistence of the problem at implementation of alternative solutions is mandatory if you want to move from telling people information 2 convincing them of the magnitude and implications. #climatechange
"Social scientists provide expertise on research with the intended audience, to ensure understanding." #WhySocialScience #sacklerscicomm
Bruine and Morgan make a great point about peoples' perception of CO2 versue other air pollutents. Public thinks they have similar residence times (wrong, CO2 sticks around 100s of yrs), and if climate change gets too bad we can stop emitting and all will be fine #SacklerSciComm
#Science communication is more effective if we:
- Address what people need and want to know
- Use understandable wording
- Test effectiveness before dissemination
#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/kq8ngdS4zA https://t.co/xsqcryy7SJ
This presentation reminds me of something @edyong209 once said about #scicomm conferences. #SacklerSciComm
Granger Morgan and Wandi Bruine de Bruin share lessons learned about effective #scicomm and interdisciplinary collaborative project work. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/21VvMYshyP
for all the #scicomm researchers at #SacklerSciComm our team at @massivesci actually trains STEM researchers to become better science storytellers. come find me or @gabestein + we can tell you how we turn researchers into #scicomm professionals
A Psychologist and an engineer team up on communicating climate change science and solution. Lessons learned based on human behavior. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/TQNDM0GW8v
#SacklerSciComm
You can't do #scicomm without understanding how people perceive your methods of communication and your actual words. Break your #STEM lingo bubble if you want to achieve anything at all with your communication. #scicomm #interdisciplinary #science
Great advice from Drs Bruine de Bruin & Granger #SacklerSciComm to avoid getting lost in the weeds when talking abt #climatechange #climatechangeshealth https://t.co/N7mM1vgF81
When communicating #climatechange the bare bones info you need is this #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/fVL30wD1ay
@Paleophile @verified Whoa - now if your remark does not speak to a huge #disappointment or concern for #SacklerSciComm, I don't know what might. #SciComm already suffers from a crisis of #EchoChamber. . .
Exhibit A: multiple talks at #sacklerscicomm have said you need experts from several disciplines to be effective. But currently makes it more difficult to publish resulting interdisciplinary research (bad incentive structure in academia).
"Three key points should be communicated to laypeople re: #climatechange - burning fossil fuels makes more CO2, more CO2 in the air causes the climate to change, once CO2 is in the air, it remains for hundreds of years." #SacklerSciComm
Interdisciplinarity requires vision and leadership in university settings: departments and deans that are willing to experiment outside of their typical nat or social sci boundaries. I'm glad to be part of one of these at @uricels #SacklerSciComm
"Real world problems cannot be solved through a single disciplinary approach." #complexity #interdisciplinary #sacklerscicomm
@FromTheLabBench I did not ever think I might see a day when you would come out with this. Respect goes where it is due. #SciComm training is still not widely endorsed or afforded it would appear. . . #SacklerSciComm panel for next year?!
Terms to retire: “general readers,” “lay audience,” “normal people,” “real world.” #SacklerSciComm
Might we start calling "lay people", just "people"? #sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Point #3 is sticking point that ppl tend not to understand--which means they don't understand that if #climatechange gets bad enough, it cannot be fixed pretty quickly in the way other air #pollution has been fixed. #scicomm #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/cL9crFJvvc
When communicating #climatechange the bare bones info you need is this #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/fVL30wD1ay
First afternoon session for #SacklerSciComm Wandi Bruine de Bruin and Granger Morgan. "Communicating with the Public about Energy".
One big flag for me at #sacklerscicomm (I’m guilty of it too): common use of the word “public” as a catch-all. From my bg in media, can tell you that you can’t serve everyone. There are many publics, with many needs. Lack of audience definition makes the job harder.
Do we need to pull in other specialist from the humanities to make this work truly multidisciplinary? What about the storytellers - historians, writers etc #SacklerSciComm
"Distinguished careers prior to starting communication research"
But what about people who incorporate #scicomm from the beginning? #SacklerSciComm
@RickBorchelt 😏. . . you're killing me w/ these #SciComm treasures, sir. It appears that a look under the hood of the #SacklerSciComm might be in order?
A #SciComm Paradox - and opportunity perhaps. We so need more collaboration between academics and practitioners. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/j7jluIHGHB
For some reason watching #SacklerSciComm, the gap between #scicomm professionals and #scicomm researchers is hitting me REALLY hard. Scicomm researchers - do you actively seek out scicomm training? Because you should.
@AshleyInCAISE My favorite slide from their talk was this one, which aims to communicate the impact of climate change. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/pZafKxGXYW
More evidence that the #SacklerSciComm conference is missing early career researchers/communicators. https://t.co/8pnq27VKJQ
"Distinguished careers prior to starting communication research"
But what about people who incorporate #scicomm from the beginning? #SacklerSciComm
Agreed! The whole "I'm a smart dude doing elite science in a fancy million $ lab and you r a lay person" brought us to the need to have a third conference on #scicomm #science in the first place. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/Ht3aha7bxs
Terms to retire: “general readers,” “lay audience,” “normal people,” “real world.” #SacklerSciComm
Granger Morgan: there are places that have the incentive structure sorted out. Go and work there. #sacklerscicomm
@swilloster Sing it again, say it out loud & with lots of pride. . . #SciComm #SacklerSciComm ~ science does not exist in a bubble: cross-collaboration is a necessity.
I see a lot of threads calling to abolish the term "lay person." When talking to content experts (scientists), I find the distinction very helpful when advocating for the experience of er, lay people. Thoughts? #sacklerscicomm
I'd like to push back on the idea that every scientist should also do #scicomm. Scientists have full time jobs, and are already required to have multiple skill sets. We need more people (and more funding) to fill the gap, rather than give scientists more to do. #SacklerSciComm
Morgan: The public did not distinguish between CO2 and other pollutants, particularly the residence lifetime of CO2; i.e. stopping emission doesn't eliminate past emissions. #SacklerSciComm
Great point from one of live tweeters of #sacklerscicomm today - Follow livestream or live tweets. Or @FromTheLabBench has google doc of notes. #scicomm https://t.co/1DcfcZheD9
And of equal importance, to this #SacklerScicomm audience, is that these hierarchies of credibility create assumptions about what constitutes expertise, status, “evidence”... or, you know, who is chosen to speak on stage. https://t.co/W87iagchtJ
Training in effect collaboration as important as communication. #SacklerSciComm
Exactly this. We definitely need pro #scicomm-ers - and funding for them - to fill the gap. The situation in Canada: https://t.co/4ajQz6GU1q #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/fFquA0aati

Well, I think last moderator summed it up nicely: this is a conference for scientists. Pity they aren’t in the room except on the podium (with notable exceptions that prove the rule) #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/7x6EkeLllW
More evidence that the #SacklerSciComm conference is missing early career researchers/communicators. https://t.co/8pnq27VKJQ
I like the term "lay people/audience" better than "General Public." Lay people just means non-experts on the subject at hand. Doesn't necessarily suggest they are otherwise all the same #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/cTkKszKgMT
I see a lot of threads calling to abolish the term "lay person." When talking to content experts (scientists), I find the distinction very helpful when advocating for the experience of er, lay people. Thoughts? #sacklerscicomm
Interesting thread, #sacklerscicomm attendees. Illustration of a disciplinary divide between science and social sciences. https://t.co/WfSGLTyL6c
@DocCamiRyan Check out this thread. Social science/humanities often ignored by science https://t.co/UELJkEgOYl
@analog_ashley It might be a bit easier to facilitate if communicators / #SciComm could be seen as a valued partner in the science/technology research chain of production. Reality though? LabAdmin don't prefer to see it that way...yet. #SacklerSciComm
Anyone at #SacklerSciComm mentioned culture?
Asking for a friend
@RickBorchelt I would have thought it was a conference for scicommers and scis. I guess that wasn't the intention? #SacklerSciComm
This is an oddly senior white male program at the #SacklerSciComm when the audience is anything but. What’s up with that?
@peterbroks ...lots of us folks out in the weeds are pining in w/ the cultural value impact. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
Don't know if #SacklerSciComm has mentioned #culture, but here in Canada @Scienceadvice has taken the temperature of our #science culture https://t.co/WiVOpHUlYk https://t.co/ZQVl1cjZjj
Anyone at #SacklerSciComm mentioned culture?

Interesting that on-stage #SacklerSciComm perspective is lots of "get scientists to #scicomm" and room seems full of professional scicomm'ers
@analog_ashley At @NOAA we have entire communications and education teams whose job is public outreach and education. Academia and other agencies would do well to employ such people #SacklerSciComm
I'm sorry - where are all the women? They are saving them for day 2 of #sacklerscicomm?
Next at #SacklerSciComm Shanto Iyengar and Doug Massey on "Communicating with the public on research about immigration".
@SnowHydro I've tried to suggest one or two in each area, it's somewhere on the blog. #SacklerSciComm
Surprised by the scholars taking potshots at scholarly publishers and university presses at the #SacklerSciComm. These presses are your partners, not your enemies. #ReadUP
@ashleighbraggs Two issues with this IMHO. 1) term "lay person" is embedded in deficit models; 2) lacks nuance in the vast diversity and experience of people and communities. No such thing as one public. #SacklerSciComm
Discussing the #scicomm and public side of science on #immigration with Shanto Iyengar and #NASmember Doug Massey at #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/gFJJE7fkOa https://t.co/ap1WMzGxEG
Doug Massey on challenges of studying and describing immigration issues #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/lQeZk35YAB
Yes. Instead of expecting all scis to to do individual #scicomm, why not centralize with people who know what they're doing? #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/vYmjwxIhTE
@analog_ashley At @NOAA we have entire communications and education teams whose job is public outreach and education. Academia and other agencies would do well to employ such people #SacklerSciComm
De Bruin presents Interesting communication challenge #sacklerscicomm: tendency to think common air pollutants & CO2 dissipate at same rate.
@SnowHydro This points to the conversation w/ Lab management, #HigherEdu org folks and other decision-makers about appropriating a respectful budget for what should be a crucial partner in the science research production chain. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm

A question from a writer. Novel in #scicomm #sacklerscicomm colloquium. Wasn't answered! Where are writers, #informaled (museums etc.) and so many experienced at science communication with public forever? Hoping this gets more diverse in terms of people and institutions.
@RWSmolensJr @peterbroks It came up ONCE but only in response to an audience question 🤦🏾♀️ #SacklerSciComm
"Communication is not the problem, it's the context in which you are trying to communicate." #SacklerSciComm
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable about this as the day goes on #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/IcHqOilW7x
This is an oddly senior white male program at the #SacklerSciComm when the audience is anything but. What’s up with that?
David Massey: "It is not the communication that is the problem, it is the context into which you are trying to communicate." Mainstream media reports findings correctly, but message gets distorted in the "blogosphere" #SacklerSciComm
Yes,but studies proved times & again that bombastic "science" news titles come out when the comms link breaks between the researchers and the #scicomm teams in the university/research center. So baseline comms awareness and literacy is mandatory for researchers. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/eR87XxH0aY
Yes. Instead of expecting all scis to to do individual #scicomm, why not centralize with people who know what they're doing? #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/vYmjwxIhTE
Doug Massey gets to a central issue w/ #scicomm: It's not really about scientists communicating science better, it's the changes to communication landscape that have made this harder.. information polarization #SacklerSciComm
Time to refresh my teaching collection of worst-practice PowerPoint slides! And maybe for #SacklerSciComm to get a few more expert communicators involved in these cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Doug Massey describes “end of the fairness doctrine” - broadcasters discussing both sides of an issue. Sometimes I feel like giving “equal” attention to both sides of a “controversy” - I.e. vaxxing, climate change, white supremacy - is part of the problem #SacklerSciComm
Douglas Massey on "The Path to Infowars" ... #SacklerSciComm #mediahistory #posttruth #sowingdiscontent https://t.co/2eIFuMtXRP
@SnowHydro @Scienceadvice Yes.. I know there is a lot of good Community Based Practice Research in Canada. But maybe #SacklerSciComm wouldn't recognise that as #scicomm
Interesting talk on the “Path to Infowars” including the elimination of the fairness doctrine repealed in 1987 and internet #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/svhm8SGgEm
Massey says changes in communcations landscape started in 1984: Congress deregulates cable TV news. Fox launched in 1986, along w/ proliferation of other cable news channels. End of fairness doctrine thru FCC in 1987. #sacklerscicomm

Douglas Massey: the problem is obfuscation not communication in a post-truth society. "Unfortunately, science and support for science has become a partisan issue." #sacklerscicomm
@Sarah_Mojarad @RWSmolensJr @verified @Twitter I still don't think this issue of recent @verified problems addresses the issue I raised initially about public trust of science content shared on social media. #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm I'm loving this. countering antiscience communication, demarcation is scicomms oldest nemesis https://t.co/St6Boe8r99
“Science and the support of science has become a political issue” #SacklerSciComm

Be prepared for the counter insurgency tactic to fight for #science and the facts #dougmassey @Princeton #sacklerscicomm
When communicating science be ready to tackle the counter intelligence because of misinformation #SacklerSciComm
Doug Massey - Be ready for the counterintelligence that will come after you communicate your data. Have a strategy ready #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Massey: "Science has become a partisan issue... The problem increasingly is obfuscation." #sacklerscicomm #scicomm https://t.co/1ApZmTjZN9
@WordCraftWriter Some of my favorite #scicomm-ers are both academics AND writers of books: @ScottESolomon @SaRoseCav @bjkingape. #SacklerSciComm
@SnowHydro @EngageClimate Or that 👍 I agree that not everyone has to be #scicommer on top of the gazillion duties a researcher has. But at least an awareness which currently doesn't exist for the most part, is (I think) necessary. #SacklerSciComm
David Massey: We're always told not to be political or partisan in science, but unfortunately science has become a partisan issue. Today it is not enough simply to communicate clearly, unfortunately you have to have to prepare for the inevitable counter attack. #SacklerSciComm
“Science & the support of science has become a partisan issue”- Doug Massey. This is a problem bc we all need science- me #SacklerSciComm
@FromTheLabBench To add to notes: Weingart et al. (2015) paper on conflict expression to go with slide: https://t.co/k23WzaAzVB #SacklerSciComm

I do ❤️ me some Shanto Iyengar. He has some great research papers at the intersection of #scicomm and political science. #SacklerSciComm
*whispers* are we going to talk about the fact that a lot of this partisan science talk is very rooted in American-centric discussions and not the global landscape or…….. #SacklerSciComm
@NevenaHr @EngageClimate Yes, awareness is good and important. But I don't expect scientists to do all the heavy lifting. Collaboration between scientists & scicommers is key. #SacklerSciComm
Massey takeaways:
-Conservatives have lost trust in science since 1974.
-Whether you like it or not, science has become political.
-Be ready and prepare for the counterintelligence that will come when you communicate science.
#SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
From Doug's discussion we now move to Shanto Iyengar discussing "Party polarization and the decline of evidence-based reasoning" #SacklerSciComm #scicomm #informalscience
Massey (in sum): Prepare in advance for those who seek to attack, misinterpret, reframe scientific evidence. #SacklerSciComm
Doug Massey--Not enough to communicate clearly & effectively; need counter-strategy to address the attack that will likely come from your narrative #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Talk about multidisciplinary, I've learned a lot following the information security/propaganda/intelligence people on twitter. They've been countering disinfo in the form of state intelligence attacks for decades - often in the media. Useful stuff.

interesting that we're talking about political polarization and implicit bias at #sacklerscicomm what happens when those who represent science are a homogenous, clustered group of self-selecting individuals with nothing in common with their various public audiences?
You should also seek out @analog_ashley, who started a scicomm group in grad school, trained and now writes with us @massivesci, and is now training others. Oh, and she presented a poster and gave a talk at SfN yesterday. Worth a conversation while you’re at #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/VY3aJW4LL5

I don't want to miss out on the Twitter convo - it is making the colloquium so much richer.
@biascientist @ocaptmycapt @FromTheLabBench I'm not a fan of "public" or "general public" unless I feel confident that the person using it understands that *other scientists* (those not in the field/speciality of the communicator) are included in that group. #SacklerSciComm

@EngageClimate noting that both @ErikaShugart and I simultaneously turned around to answer this question IRL 😂 #SacklerSciComm
@biascientist @ocaptmycapt @FromTheLabBench That said, "lay public" may not be ideal, either, but can be a clearer way of indicating a group of people without formal STEM education/training. "Non-specialists" can work in its place, when appropriate. #SacklerSciComm
Would love to talk about more about outreach outside of science venues and "science events". If you're doing #scicomm at a museum, university or a science labeled event.. you've already selected for people who want to know about science. #SacklerSciComm
Shanto Iyengar: Interpersonal contact might be a good thing. The question is, how do you bring that about? #SacklerSciComm
Iyengar: Strategies for countering political polarization: "1-Kinder, gentler rhethoric from high places <audience laughs cynically>. 2-Interpersonal contact btwn groups." Did anyone catch the others? #sacklerscicomm
#sacklerscicomm Ultimately this has nothing to do with party, it's ideological extremity, it just happens in US Republicans are more extreme at the moment, or extreme on the *polled questions*.
I'm excited about watching the webcast for #SacklerSciComm but I'm surprised at the huge number of words on these slides (content great). Maybe #scicomm researchers need more practice on technical communication?
Citizens Climate Lobby have done a great job of brining Democrats and Republicans together around #climatechange, is there a representative from this organization at this conference? Good to know best practices from those on the ground. #SacklerSciComm
My q: for @saiyengar: are there data re: trust of local or regional media outlets based on political party (vs. larger online & MSM outlets)? #SacklerSciComm
#sorrynotsorry to harp on this - but all male / white speaker panels just shouldn't be a thing at #scicomm conferences today. #SacklerSciComm
NO MORE MANELS! https://t.co/Rh7BOsaAZb #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/QJyVlh4q66
#sorrynotsorry to harp on this - but all male / white speaker panels just shouldn't be a thing at #scicomm conferences today. #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm This could be better framed in terms of ideologic extremity, rather than "partisanship". If you attack "extremity" people will feel less singled out than if you attack their party, after all, no one considers themselves an extremist.
I’d like to see a panel on best practices of using social media for science communications led by people under 30. #sacklerscicomm
Re: the #SacklerSciComm comment that MSM messages are 'distorted' in the blogosphere - think again. #scicomm https://t.co/ArAjibeQvr
@SnowHydro Absolutely - most of our bloggers are scientists themselves or have a strong mandate to "get the science right." We also evaluate the blogs before accepting them into our syndication! ^TL
The idea that scientists are a self-selecting group & have noting in common with our audience is irresponsible & not true #SacklerSciComm
Look deeper - think about all of the other things you are and find coming ground @AldaCenter #SacklerSciComm
In 1947, founders of modern @sciam wrote "the common denominator [of its audience] is the interested layman: the scientific professional who is a layman in departments outside his own." #SacklerSciComm
Ken Prewitt (Moderator) We don't believe we have no commonality with the public, but we have to deal with those beliefs that are out there. #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Making it about extremity also allows us to treat the real problem - ideological extremity! It really doesn't matter if liberal or conservative, denialism lives in the fringes.
@FromTheLabBench All male / white speaker panels just shouldn't be a thing at #ANY conference today - outside of a Cheetoh puff conference🤭 #SacklerSciComm
When identity and evidence conflict, people choose identity. - Shanto Iyengar #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
@joesbigidea True. But , still room for broadening audiennces. Proud that 22% of #SciPubRVA attendees classified themselves as "not really into science". #SacklerSciComm
If judging #SacklerSciComm takeaways from panelist composition: 1) young and non-white people don't have anything to say about #scicomm, & 2) #scicomm researchers don't actually need to be good communicators (if judging by slides)
When does misinformation about science matter? When it impacts health eg vaccine hesitancy despite best efforts of #scicomm #SacklerSciComm

Would love to talk about more about outreach outside of science venues and "science events". If you're doing #scicomm at a museum, university or a science labeled event.. you've already selected for people who want to know about science. #SacklerSciComm
@Paleophile @biascientist @ocaptmycapt @FromTheLabBench n 1947, founders of modern @sciam wrote "the common denominator [of its audience] is the interested layman: the scientific professional who is a layman in departments outside his own." #SacklerSciComm
Yes! THAT! SO MANY YESes ! 👍 don't forget that if you are a true expert in one thing, you probably are rly rly not in many others! Long gone is the era of the great thinkers who knew everything there was to know about our world. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/i8CNryYMHC

The NAS Great Hall celebrates the history and significance of science as it was understood in 1924, when the building opened. The iconography was designed by artist Hildreth Meiere. It looks like a mosiac, but is actually painted. More: https://t.co/W4LyDq66AI #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/7utY4SqkCY
Disheartened to see such flagrant politicization of science and such blatantly partisan messaging from the National Academies. Mere hours after lecturing on how to effectively communicate, they insult and disparage half of the country. Talk about echo chambers! #SacklerSciComm
Can we talk about how beautiful this domed auditorium is though.. #SacklerSciComm
On to the next. Communicating with the public about infectious disease is underway! #scicomm #SacklerSciComm #informalscience
#sacklerscicomm There is some selective presentation of data here. Overall vaccination rates may be steady but there are pockets of low take - with resulting increases in outbreaks in pockets of resistance.
Yes! Personal I dentity is tied to close personal networks and no one wants to get voted off the island. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/nYI1Md7Lq3
When identity and evidence conflict, people choose identity. - Shanto Iyengar #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
From my perspective, there's a problem of putting the science out there and letting it "speak for itself"; refusing to follow up or clarify. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/59x8udiO2L
This is a huge oversimplification. MSM message isn't distorted in blogosphere as a whole. Perhaps in certain (small) sections of the web. But @ScienceBorealis syndicates >100 science blogs that don't 'distort' research. Journos are also to blame for some distortion. https://t.co/tPPgOmVS5c
A lot of speakers at #SacklerSciComm falling into the trap I often catch on- too much focus on underlying data than how we communicate it.
Why do economically disadvantaged groups consistently not complete the MMR vaccine series? For the Philly study "FIX the clinics!" #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/HSt9Ok58y3
@FromTheLabBench WE’RE IN THE AUDIENCE! 🙋🏽🙋🏿🙋🏻#SacklerSciComm
#SacklerScicomm you have to be kidding me, telling me that Andrew Wakefield's and his accomplices #pseudoscience did not influence the vaccination rates. 😶
CDC report of vaccine rates for US children suggests that rates haven't changed much before/after the false vaccine-related claims. Was a surprise to me. https://t.co/r0vy0O8KVA #sacklerscicomm
Q: though data indicates steady vaxx rates, there are more recent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. How do you explain if it’s not due to misinformation? #SacklerSciComm
Bob Hornik's suggestion for evidence-based scicomm: Consider misinformation as one among competing explanations for behavior #SacklerSciComm
Are we really directly contracting structural barriers VS beliefs in terms of explaining behavior related to sci issues? I'm pretty sure these things aren't mutually exclusive - beliefs and barriers combine. #sacklerscicomm
Bob Hornik: Instead of beginning w/ scientific #misinformation, we should start w/ behavioral issues of concern. Not all misinformation is a problem. Sometimes inaccurate communication about misinformation is the problem. #SacklerSciComm
Take home from vaccination study: The problem is not necessarily communication. Look at other underlying factors #SacklerSciComm
How NAS stays objective: show example of 95% R viewership and 95% D viewership, blame all of it on R! There are echo chambers on both sides and #SacklerSciComm is one of them. Present the data and keep your political spin out of it! Is that too much to ask?
Now #SacklerSciComm moves on to health with Bob Hornik. What health misinformation matters?
#sacklerscicomm So if vaccine disinformation isn't a problem, why do all the outbreaks keep happening in vaccine-refusing enclaves? Why have we lost ground on pertussis? Why is Italy seeing an enormous outbreak? Disagree very strongly.
Science of communicating science shows public is interested in science. Let's keep building innovative, diverse science communities #sacklerscicomm
Just asking myself whether we as scholars run the same “deficit“ risk of falsely assuming the research being shared here at #SacklerSciComm to diffuse into a changed #scicomm practice, almost osmotically? It won't. https://t.co/bs1HDdImwn
Long live the deficit model: If you just knew the science behind communication you will do it responsibly and effectively #scicomm #sacklerscicomm
So great to meet you both @eatthecrust and @wbohon #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/eZKiyyWmRZ
Hear, hear! Thanks lunch buddies @CocoNell2 et al.! https://t.co/5uaZlWmsgE
#SacklerSciComm appreciating the (meta)#irony of trying to change #SciComm by filling #SciComm info deficit 😀 thoughts on ways around this?
Hornik: Statistics on vaccination don't show a significant dip from mis-beliefs. They do show a disparity from social contest. #SacklerSciComm
Posters are tools to learn important #scicomm skill, visual communication: https://t.co/uibgNudjgg Response to #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/avjUzpk4iT
Surprised to see only aggregated data (and one plot split by above/below poverty line) used to make the argument that there hasn't been a dip in vacceine levels at all. For example, MMR vaccination rates quite different in Mississippi & Colorado
#SacklerSciComm
And shaping beliefs is such difficult, important work #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/kZJNygLp9x
Are we really directly contracting structural barriers VS beliefs in terms of explaining behavior related to sci issues? I'm pretty sure these things aren't mutually exclusive - beliefs and barriers combine. #sacklerscicomm
Is "misinformation" a focus on deficit model? Scicomm needs to focus on underlying motivations and framing a relevant call to action for desired outcomes. #sacklerscicomm
@DoctorZen I didn't get the impression they were demeaning posters per se. Just lamenting many students aren't getting the option to give scientific talks as well #SacklerSciComm
I run a scicomm training program for PhD students, @NU_RSG. Would love to chat with others who do similar, and share (1) what do you do in your training that is most successful and (2) how do you know it works? Please introduce yourself if you're at #SacklerSciComm
Susan Scrimshaw: Around 17% of adults can't read and something like 21% read below a 5th grade level. #SacklerSciComm
Well, I think you'd be hard pressed to hear a talk about the practice of #scicomm that doesn't echo messages discussed at #SacklerSciComm. https://t.co/1P4AFbqiiA
@JLVernonPhD Do Sackler colloq. really deliver on being "most insightful" scicomm discussions? 😉
Infuriating indeed! If u take 50 states data in a mash you'll never see significant differences. Even if 1 state's an outlier drowned in the big data, we talk of millions of people there. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/qKFMx7czbS

Hornik takeaway: If you're trying to change behavior (health, environmental), focus on the behavior & why the audience(s) are behaving as they are — then develop solution(s). Don't assume information is the main/only issue. It's complex. #sacklerscicomm #scicomm #conservation
SUPER important message: the way you frame #SciComm messages should be modified WITH INPUT from the community you're trying to reach
#SacklerSciComm
@mlpaulsen @NU_RSG Do you know the folks at @RELATEatUM? @ElyseTheGeek was in town earlier this week, but I think she had to leave before #SacklerSciComm started up. But it's worth making a virtual connection!
@FromTheLabBench It's where the tires meet the road of the #SciComm vehicle. . .beliefs (tires) adapt/become scared/go flat/blow out/etc from the ever-changing road conditions (barriers). #SacklerSciComm
However, There are, no doubt, more dynamic and innovative communicators on the subject in other venues. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/1P4AFbqiiA
@JLVernonPhD Do Sackler colloq. really deliver on being "most insightful" scicomm discussions? 😉
Susan Scrimshaw: Cultural literacy is essential for effective health comms. We assume our recommendations are possible: but think about how “easy” it is to avoid being bitten by a mosquito in Puerto Rico RIGHT NOW. #SacklerSciComm
Scrimshaw: The limits of #scicomm - you can tell people why they need to worry about mosquitos, but how can someone in Puerto Rico avoid mosquitos right now? Information is not enough to combat infectious disease #SacklerSciComm
@CPNAS It is my first time here, truly beautiful & impressive space. #SacklerSciComm
Hornick takeaways:
-Misinformation doesn't always matter
-Behavioral circumstances + structural concerns often prevent vaccination (not antivax beliefs)
-Solve clinical problems (wait times in Drs offices) that prevent low income from vaccinating
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm
@nuclearkatie Your point speaks to #AudienceCentered communications period, whether it be #SciComm, #HigherEdRecruitingComms, #CorpComms, #CrisisComms, etc. . . AND that is truly the base from where we all would best be starting from. #SacklerSciComm
"One message does not fit all" - Susan Scrimshaw on understanding cultural, language, and education of the audience you are trying to reach #SacklerSciComm #communityengagement #international #Local
Susan Scrimshaw discussing the need for inclusion (and work on!) cultural understanding in order to have successful communication on #Ebola #Zika. #SacklerSciComm
Reminds me of @chris0dye plenary at 2016 #AAASmtg https://t.co/6tXEoVtfyj
Susan Scrimshaw advocating "iterative consultative and action relationships with communities" to frame messages. I just went to @PCORI annual mtg last week and #sacklerscicomm should meet them.
#sacklerscicomm Susan Scrimshaw: Media literacy is essential. We need to know how people interpret #SciComm thru a media literacy lens. --> Finally, someone has explicitly mentioned the importance of MEDIA LITERACY. Thank you!
Earlier in the day there was lots of discussion about experiments in #scicomm but all the research presented is on traditional examples. How do we square that circle? #SacklerSciComm
A great reminder from Scrimshaw: one message does not fit all! #SacklerSciComm

Recommendations for Communication Regarding Infectious Disease via Susan Scrimshaw #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/O57CZzDd3f
Susan Scrimshaw for the win! Most effective plea for community engagement we've heard today: do ur homework on commty, listen, iterate #SacklerSciComm
Great talk about application of anthropology in #scicomm , Great but not new information by any stretch of imagination. "One message does not fit all" is not new information #SacklerSciComm
To effectively communicate research, pay attn to culture and language (your own and others)! ~Susan Scrimshaw #SacklerSciComm
Question: Dpes the message from Susan about NAS informing the nation and with regards to gentle messaging lose impact due to the fiercely partisan messaging a few speakers ago? #sacklerscicomm
Science of Communicating Science? It's the facts, ma'm. Just the facts. #SacklerSciComm #nofluff #nopuff #noagenda
@CliffordTheHutt Regardless, it was an opportunity to point out that #SacklerSciComm never seems to talk about images in #scicomm.
Unfortunate we're only on round 3 of the "repeat your message 7 times" strategy of informing this audience. More work to do. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/jwhbCrsIpU
@JLVernonPhD agreed, tho it's definitely a 30,000 ft overview.
#sacklerscicomm Susan Scrimshaw: An example of why cultural understanding & diverse teams are critical in effective #SciComm -- When discussing pregnancy RISKS in Spanish-speaking communities, riesgo (RISK) did not translate well, but peligro (DANGER) did translate well.
Two takeaways from Scrimshaw:
-Complexity of terminology is a major barrier
-One message does not fit all
-Increase social mobilization and community engagement
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Have been enjoying following #SacklerSciComm. But time for my lunch and a break from the web. Enjoy the conference everyone! #scicomm
Much more of a systems approach to what's really happening - look not just at visible events, but underlying structures and mental models at play #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/aDBt4suOTB

-Misinformation doesn't always matter
-Behavioral circumstances + structural concerns often prevent vaccination (not antivax beliefs)
-Solve clinical problems (wait times in Drs offices) that prevent low income from vaccinating
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm
So important. We should focus our scicomm efforts on "cultural literacy" rather than "science literacy". #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/dwXdDFtjnz
To effectively communicate research, pay attn to culture and language (your own and others)! ~Susan Scrimshaw #SacklerSciComm
@Sarah_Mojarad Tongue-in-cheek responses, with a dab of veracity b/c afterall it is the #SacklerSciComm!
@FromTheLabBench Pretty ridiculous given the diversity of the #scicomm community in 2017. So many incredible individuals to consider - writers, podcasters (shout out @_lindsayp!) digital web series folks, public speakers... countless outstanding options #SacklerSciComm
Can learn ways to better communicate by engaging with your intended audience. Susan Scrimshaw, Nevin Scrimshaw, "...the women taught us how to communicate with them, we ended up developing songs and working with the popular radio program on how to reach women"#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/oWs2FtVzGi
Doesn’t a reallllly high percentage of the population need to be vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity for measles? Is I️t possible that vaccination rates could be 90% but that just isn’t enough to prevent an outbreak? #SacklerSciComm
Lotta critical points in this thread. Striking to think of how much has changed since the last #SacklerSciComm. I remember an audience member tsk-tsking me for bringing up values! https://t.co/3KASVAjD1l
If judging #SacklerSciComm takeaways from panelist composition: 1) young and non-white people don't have anything to say about #scicomm, & 2) #scicomm researchers don't actually need to be good communicators (if judging by slides)
@Sarah_Mojarad Social media often offers the fastest way to communicate an interpretation of your work or path to correct a manipulated morning news headline. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm: It is a moral imperative for communicators to engage w the social impacts of research. They have power over public opinion by virtue of technical expertise. Ironic case in point: eponymous Sacklers got rich by persuading the public that Oxycontin is safe.
Who wants to fund an alternative to the #SacklerScicomm meeting? Judging by the Twitter engagement & critique, there's a big group that has a lot to add to the conversation.
True. Lots of rehashing, but the audience is evolving. Prior naysayers are at the table & that's a promising development. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/SKgOfynuju
@JLVernonPhD Granted, I haven’t been able to follow live all day, but the summaries and tweets I’m reading sound like discussions I’ve heard elsewhere for many years. I suspect you’ve heard them too.
@_SciComm @aaas I am unable to attend #SacklerSciComm because you scheduled it for the same days as the annual meeting of the National Communication Association @natcom WHY?
Bear with me. I know #SacklerSciComm is currently focused on #scicomm for politicized/contentious sci topics. But this is also most difficult area in which to change attitudes, much less behaviors, with comm alone. Is exclusive discussion of this type of scicomm best use of time?
"Another brick in the wall" by Pink Floyd currently playing at #SacklerSciComm Props to whoever made the playlist. 🔥 https://t.co/vaXE7YwJzs
On the #SacklerScicomm live feed at the moment - Pink Floyd’s “We don’t need no education”. Clearly, the defunct model is dead! :)
“Deficit model”!! - autocorrect having some fun there! #SacklerScicomm
Great point, Ian. Leave politics out of the conversation and you’ll have one less barrier to overcome. #scicomm #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/7SPYPuWt0M
@Sarah_Mojarad Wish I could tune in! In my experience, there are ways to discuss issues that have been politicized without relying on politically charged language. Makes it easier to explore topics while avoiding reflexive reactions among those all along the political spectrum.
@theNASciences playlist for #SacklerSciComm; She blinded me with sci, suspicious minds, shake it off. Sounds like being a researcher to me!
Wondering if the music choice for the online breaks was determined by a study. Just saying.... 😃
🎼She Blinded Me with Science🎼 #sacklerscicomm
@_klburke Yeah I'm torn - I do think these areas of study are really important, and the focus can't be ALL areas of study. But I was hoping to see more research on innovative comm modalities for a variety of sci topics and goals from #SacklerSciComm.
@CPNAS We’re curious about the auditorium- are the facets a feature to improve acoustics? #SacklerSciComm
@_klburke Excited about the social media and big data talks tomorrow #SacklerSciComm
An impressive example of truly professional collaboration between hard and soft sciences to do real evidence-based #scicomm. That works. Exactly in the same way you planned it. It's kind of seeing this true love that everyone talks about but no one ever saw. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/Zn8oUYzYko

Why should science communication be any different from “normal” communication? Strategies for persuasive messaging remain the same whether you address social, economic, or scientific issues. #sacklerscicomm
Erin Nash: Findings of our research will provide best practices for facilitating scientists' engagement w/ policymakers -- to be used by @AAAS (and hopefully by other organizations, individuals!) #scipol #SacklerSciComm

This panel giving advice on a #scicomm project is my favorite part of the event so far. Great feedback. #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm is not trending in Belgium. I feel alone! Where are all the legislators from the euro bubble and scientists from the area? 🙁
Not much talk on the impacts of #scicomm television (beyond news media). Is TV a viable method for educating/informing audiences? What works and what doesn't? Anyone studying this? #sacklerscicomm
Fay Cook of @NSF doing a great job conveying helpful information and her passion for science. #SacklerSciComm

Question: With the focus on “Communication to Policymakers”, does the project team think they can mitigate the distortion and politicization of science in Congress? Lawmakers largely tow the party line and bow to the whip, regardless of facts.

#scicomm https://t.co/3Ro8SaGZio
@KateBradfordSci related study on #WomenInSTEM and sci-fi that I know (for obvious reasons): https://t.co/KsymO0Pclw #SacklerSciComm
Great question: How do you deal with people who are open to #scipolicy training but feeling like they don't have the power to create change. #SacklerSciComm
Did I just hear that right 👂🏽? #SacklerSciComm
I highly encourage this research group to reach out to members of Citizens Climate Lobby, they've been doing this for a while #SacklerSciComm
Audience comment: it's equally important to understand FAILURES of #SciComm as successes -- both from prospective of scicommer and audience (in this case, policymakers)
#SacklerSciComm
Up next - Science in the News: Human Genome Editing #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
I'm excited about this next group too! #SacklerSciComm
Beautifully presented @Liz_Suhay @ErinJNash @EngageClimate - congrats! Now you can breathe again at #SacklerSciComm (wink) https://t.co/DwsNxBq1sG
This pretty well sums up what I’ve spent the bulk of my #SciComm career doing. I’d add that I also reflected often on my ‘dissemination’ via metrics, surveys, interviews, panel surveys, etc. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/Cf4gIgohLD
#Science communication is more effective if we:
- Address what people need and want to know
- Use understandable wording
- Test effectiveness before dissemination
#SacklerSciComm https://t.co/kq8ngdS4zA https://t.co/xsqcryy7SJ
Please, team science: submit comments on this by tomorrow. More details and links to comment site: https://t.co/0LPjhTznyv #SacklerSciComm folks--help us here, submit! https://t.co/ypw3riH85r
Jenny Schmidt makes very good points here https://t.co/HqlVAj8IaO
#SacklerSciComm
Human #genome editing pannel
This is so exciting! 🤗
My question for #scicomm for policymakers project team: do you think will yr findings will be at all relevant to state leglislators? Or to othe national parliaments?#SacklerSciComm
I'd pay to see Pavlov's Salivation Army and Dirty Filthy Basement. #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerScicomm let's crowdsource a #scicomm name for a rock band... go, hivebrain!
On the idea of all scientists doing their own #SciComm: what successful company has their lead engineer work part time in the sales department? Science needs to support multiple, diverse niches, not make everyone an overextended generalist. #SacklerSciComm
Fun fact: @BrownUniversity Cornelia Dean was in a band called Dirty, Filthy Basement
#SacklerSciComm #scicomm
Sharing with #SacklerSciComm How biased Apps can "weight" information @LizNeeley @FromTheLabBench https://t.co/nUOSqbvss0
Chatbots harassing women, signup forms only for straight people, unfairly weighted algorithms that put more black people behind bars. TOXIC TECH come to Impact Hub Friday. $5 tickets: https://t.co/5mvzM0oIHT https://t.co/8t3Q4S2Izh
Couldn't attend #SacklerSciComm, but judging by the mood on Twitter, organizers seem to have ironically misjudged their audience.
Tons of great lessons coming from #SacklerSciComm today! Whether you're trying to figure out how, where, or who to talk to about #science & #scicomm, there are lots of people out there who can help https://t.co/bcn4NI2wsX
SUPER important message: the way you frame #SciComm messages should be modified WITH INPUT from the community you're trying to reach
#SacklerSciComm
@PublicHeath @Liz_Suhay @ErinJNash I felt like I was back in candidacy exams for a bit there... #SacklerSciComm
Next panel at #SacklerSciComm on gene editing. Cornelia Dean (NY times) first speaker.
Gene editing is the topic at hand now at #SacklerSciComm Cornelia Dean details the challenges in communicating about the subject. #scicomm #informalscience
Dean: There’s a whole lot of activity around gene-editing, and the story is difficult to cover. The work is complex and it makes the story hard to tell. #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
Now panel on news media coverage of human #geneedting w/ Cornelia Dean, @scheufele, and Matthew Porteus #CRISPR #SacklerSciComm
Porteus and @scheufele both served on @theNASEM committee that produced the 2017 report on Human Genome Editing: https://t.co/2fwmO1YiXI #SacklerSciComm
Dean: Journalism on human genome editing fraught - germ line editing has existential q's, we get tripped up on sci (and vice versa) #SacklerSciComm #scicomm @theNASciences
Shoutout to @UW_LSC professor
@scheufele on the panel right now about human genome editing in the news! #SacklerSciComm
https://t.co/tP3Tm6stHF
Cori Dean: hard to have conversation on gene editing due to current polarization in society. #sacklerscicomm
Starting: Science in the News and Human Genome Editing, with @UW_LSC @Scheufele at #Sacklerscicomm! https://t.co/FhoZgFAUNE
Now on stage at #SacklerSciComm: Science in the News and Human Genome Editing, how to tell stories about complex subjects. #scicomm Join the livestream - https://t.co/D2rRj1gC7Y
Session on human gene editing at #SacklerSciComm starting with Cornelia Dean NYT who says it is complex story & subject matter is fraught
If you are seeing all these great tweets abt #SacklerSciComm, be part of the convo and watch the livestream here! #scicomm #WishIWasThere https://t.co/Xj8tk0WkG3
Also, live webcast here for those of us who want to listen in from afar https://t.co/h0ujsYqVF9
Dean: Obviously the work (gene-editing) is complex. Complex stories are hard to tell. Hard to writing an engaging narrative about a complex topic. #SacklerSciComm
@joesbigidea @ichaydon set up booth at farmers mkt in #seattle 4 that reason #SacklerSciComm
ICYMI: @raquellholmes is at #sacklerscicomm -- Follow her on Twitter for more great posts like this! https://t.co/Y2ickdGgVH
Science of communicating science shows public is interested in science. Let's keep building innovative, diverse science communities #sacklerscicomm
ICYMI: @raquellholmes is at #sacklerscicomm -- Follow her on Twitter for more great posts like this! https://t.co/CLYoF6jaag
Science of communicating science shows public is interested in science. Let's keep building innovative, diverse science communities #sacklerscicomm
Dean - What's needed? People from all backgrounds coming together to discuss gene line editing research and its application #SacklerSciComm
Dean's opinion is that there needs to be broader societal buy-in for concepts like human gene editing #sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Absolutely agree. Science-based orgs need to invest in high-quality science communicators to be that conduit. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/uvtoKwF5N8
I'd like to push back on the idea that every scientist should also do #scicomm. Scientists have full time jobs, and are already required to have multiple skill sets. We need more people (and more funding) to fill the gap, rather than give scientists more to do. #SacklerSciComm
Cornelia Dean - people don't like the idea of an elite group of people gathering somewhere and saying what should happen. But how do we get to the broader conversation we need? #SacklerSciComm
Dean - How do we get to this broader conversation? #SacklerSciComm
Corrie Dean at #SacklerScicomm talking about the need for engagement, reflection and responsible innovation that is what a lot of us do. How to raise awareness amongst science communication community?
How can you convey or convince ppl that a tech is safe if you haven't done the research first? That's right - you can't and you shouldn't try. #GeneEditing #SacklerSciComm
Cory Dean: I don't know how we're going to get to the broader conversation that we need to have on human #geneediting. #CRISPR #SacklerSciComm
Public has concern that science is going faster than our philosophical, moral relationship to technical advances. Respects public intelligence #SacklerSciComm
@joesbigidea @ichaydon Ok. Need instagram account with #farmscience hash? #foodscience hash? Just hash to eat? #SacklerSciComm
If you are interested in gene editing, might I point you to our community consensus statement on ethics, out Nov 9? https://t.co/vuYWrelRaW #sacklerscicomm
2/50 speakers at #sacklerscicomm obviously people of color; 2 more of possible ethnic diversity. https://t.co/df0PwUh6M3
Been following #SacklerSciComm all day, but I’m personally dismayed that the speakers given platform to speak are so homogeneously white.
Speaking of Asilomar & GMOs & gene editing, see Sheila Jasanoff's work. All #scicomm folks need to know it. Here's a quick intro Q&A that talks about Asilomar & CRISPR: https://t.co/0XxwMeWx3w #sacklerscicomm
Cornelia Dean - wide range of topics that need broader conversation. From Human genome editing to autonomous decision-making battlefield robots. #SacklerSciComm
Dean: I don't know how we are going to get broader participation of society in conversations around gene editing #sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Latest discussion focused on #HumanGenomeEditing with
@scheufele, Cornelia Dean, and Matthew Porteus at #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/RKsrp32FF5
Follow today & tomorrow the #Science of Science Communication #scicomm conference https://t.co/EqTUSWj6VU and the tweets at #sacklerscicomm
Let's talk about genome editing and CRSPR and how to communicate about it #SacklerSciComm
Matthew Porteus speaking next at #SacklerSciComm
Dean’s comments at #SacklerScicomm illustrate the deep need for the science comms community to be aware of what’s going on around beneficial & responsible tech innovation - bit of a chasm here?
Cory Dean: It's the research community that needs to reach out to the broader community to engage on #geneediting.
[Scientific responsibility?] #SacklerSciComm
@analog_ashley And #scicomm involves more than journalism and tweets. Effective science communication involves both compelling and explanatory visual imagery, video, animation, and more. #sciart #SacklerSciComm
Anyone else's #mindblown listening to Matthew Portheus talk about Genome editing #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/Ea8ZjgtwC0
#SacklerSciComm If only the public were as cautious about the societal effects of tech as they were about gene therapy. How many revolutionary effects on society are caused by the release of tech on the population. Yet it always gets the benefit of the doubt that more tech=good.
Journalist Cory Dean:Many citizens feel science is moving too fast without sufficient attention to moral issues. That there are places we ought not go. eg Human Genome Editing. Other hard topics: Artificial Intel, Carbon Sequestration.Need societal conversations" #SacklerSciComm
Michael Porteus clarifying the mechanism of genome editing to a packed crowd at #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/ixlSlDI3eR
@nuclearkatie @scicomm_jc And understanding why they failed can provide great learning for new and old #SciComm practitioners #SacklerSciComm
@tiffanylohwater @BioBeef @_SciComm @aaas @natcom @theNASEM Thanks! I'll ask @theNASEM or @theNASciences: Why was the #SacklerSciComm colloquium scheduled to conflict with the National Communication Association annual meeting?
Psst...some professional #scicomm specialists are also scientists. Like, active scientists. *cough* Be aware of this before establishing an argument based on the dichotomy of "scientists & scicomm-ers," please. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/S25zHagymC
Truth. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/fxi17Ffduk
There’s been a greater diversity of chairs than speakers on stage at this colloquium #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm
The living cell - the ultimate troubleshooting machine 💜 you gotta love the native DNA control&maintain machinery! #cellbioftw
#SacklerSciComm
I like the analogies Matthew Porteus uses to illustrate the #CRISPR system operation.
Got my heart. Porteus discussing Sickle Cell Disease shows drawing of anguished face w/ ginormous tears created by a teenage girl describing how she feels from disease caused bone pain. #SacklerSciComm
@Paleophile good point, discussed this with @DrJigsawJen ... Some scientists are quite gifted at #scicomm, and some laypeople get science incorrect #SacklerSciComm
A quick break in #SacklerSciComm tweets to highlight this #SfNSciComm post from @TorreyTruszko about the #SciComm workshop she organized earlier this week. It was great fun, and it came about because she looked around and said "if not me, who?" https://t.co/OPzu8vHXuc
New #SfN17 #blog post! I led a Professional Development
#workshop on #scicomm at SFN - it was fun and I highly recommend it! #sfnscicomm @bradleyvoytek @katieeprater @ElyseTheGeek @EngageClimate @NeuroDulka @SfNtweets https://t.co/cHJAGSoogH
There is an ethical/equity issue with CRISPR/Cas9 - where it can do the most good is where it's least likely to be deployed #SacklerSciComm
"Editing for disease is not the same as editing for enhancement" -Porteus #GenomeEditing #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
"We have to be careful not to conflate genome editing with CRISPR/CAS9..." - Matthew Porteous #Sacklerscicomm
#SacklerSciComm How about some risk assessment whataboutism? Why are we more worried about CRISPR than autonomous cars (already on the road)? Risks of editing away a somatic disease is less threatening to me than being run over by a computer.
Porteus: some perverse incentives in how we communicate science. Biased toward sensationalist characterization - rewards for showing up in @NYTScience Where is the check in this process? #SacklerSciComm
Matthew Porteus: One of the ethical issues not always discussed related to human #geneediting: How to make this technology accessible to places with lower GDP? [a slight nod to #inequality issues?] #SacklerSciComm
We need to be careful about dramatizing or sensationalizing works of science... - Matthew Porteous #SacklerSciComm
Q for Dr Porteus: editing genes to treat disease isn’t the same as enhancement; but *how* & *where* do we draw that line? Sickle cell - nearsightedness - obesity - Down Syndrome - ASD? Who decides? #SacklerSciComm
This should be good. @scheufele: I want to channel my inner Alan Leshner. We talk too little about what society can do for science. #SacklerSciComm
.@scheufele: We have been focusing on what science can do for society, but would like to talk about what society can do for science. #SacklerSciComm
Porteus: Somatic cell editing (not inheritable) is the same as germ cell editing (inheritable). #SacklerSciComm
Porteus: New coverage on #Geneediting is often misleading. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/YC03O7q6ZY
Thank you Matthew Porteus for bringing up the problem of sensationalising science and the wrong incentive to do science and the wrong means to advance scientific careers!
#SacklerSciComm
"Science is now a team activity" -Matthew Porteus @stanford #SacklerSciComm #collaboration #teamwork
The clearest picture of where wrong incentives bring #scicomm and science itself, by Matthew Porteus. Very far from society #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/KHBnJAbBwr
We've been talking about incentives for scientists all day, but we've only started to talk about value for the non-sci community #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8UXCLwzcTt
Speaker at #SacklerSciComm claims journalists are incentivized to hype science and that there is no check on this motivation. Nope! Corrections, disdain of your peers--expressed here on Twitter--and reputation are strong motivators to get it right.
All the CRISPR convo proceeds from the assumption that of course we will do it and need the public to embrace it—driver for #scicomm #SacklerSciComm
Tons of great tips @theNASciences #sacklerscicomm! Some misperceptions as well. Esp. the inferences that professional communicators don’t use data to effectively create change.
.@scheufele: Too many issues arising too fast to have broad public debates.
[Not a reason not to have them, tho.] #SacklerSciComm
To support science advances, advance our capacity for civic debate #sacklerscicomm
@gretabyrum @knightfdn @LatanyaSweeney @EthanZ Some at #sacklerscicomm are discussing bias in algorithms, just like @LatanyaSweeney has revealed. #newschallenge (Overlap of hash tags today)

US is literally "off the chart" in national comparisons of religion-in-public-life and GDP. That's neither good nor bad, says @scheufele. It just IS. We shouldn't be talking about changing that, but about working with that. #SacklerSciComm
Question: Where do you draw the line for distinction between a disease that is “ok” to cure with gene editing vs a “human trait” that isn’t? Could/should you use gene editing to “cure” behavioral traits that are immoral and detrimental to society? e.g. pedophilia #sacklerscicomm
Porteus on fixing sickle cell gene & attendant suffering: caution against conflating genome editing & CRISPR CAS9 (latter is a tool for former); huge #pophealth benefits, but challenges & ethics of making available for global use #sacklerscicomm https://t.co/Jr28m5prwZ
Latest discussion focused on #HumanGenomeEditing with
@scheufele, Cornelia Dean, and Matthew Porteus at #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/RKsrp32FF5
good comments by @scheufele reinforcing that gene editing, other technologies pose questions and probs that can't be addressed by science alone- tensions are centered on culture, values, beliefs #SacklerSciComm
Link to research by @scheufele on US attitudes on human genome editing https://t.co/Q7luN7AUtW #SacklerSciComm
.@scheufele: More than half of Americans says religion plays an important role in their lives. #SacklerSciComm
[@AAAS has a program (@AAAS_DoSER ) for that! https://t.co/65pDdROAAF]
#SacklerSciComm
Ppl r less concerned about the heritability of gene edits. We circle back to earlier talk that we truly fail to communicate the durability of effects of our actions #climatechange #GeneEditing #thescimethod
@raquellholmes Yes, but #scicomm research shows this Habermasian ideal is not always the solution. opinion formation is complex, beware the deficit model. #SacklerSciComm
.@scheufele: Alan Leshner was one of the first people in scientific community to see the need for broader public engagement. #SacklerSciComm

@scheufele Too many societal issues are coming up too fast. The more religious people are, the less likely they are to think scientists are capable of guiding new techs in a responsible way. Need conversations to discuss benefits but also perils and pitfalls. #SacklerSciComm
Public conversations about science should loop back to influence the scientific enterprise itself ~@scheufele #SacklerSciComm
@scheufele gives shout out to @theNASEM Science, Evolution, and Creationism - process to write it took into consideration values of religious communities #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/SZn1gdUqNk

Hi there, I'm an enthusiastic and creative graphic artist. If you are looking for amazing Banner Ads please visit my gig.. https://t.co/kpPuvN3sG2
Q from audience: Who decides difference between disease and medical enhancement, and what to "treat" w/ #geneediting?
Porteus: Certainly not me.. there need to be places for people to participate in the discussion earlier. #SacklerSciComm #CRISPR
I will say that @scheufele always has excellent shoes #SacklerSciComm
.@scheufele great talk. 1) Gene editing for therapy as opposed to enhancement is preferred by public, 2) public not concerned if the gene modification is heritable, 2) people place trust on info about gene editing equally on scientist & non-scientists #SacklerSciComm
Gr8 huge Q about where you draw line between treatment & enhancement (sickle cell vs deafness vs ASD etc etc). Porteus (partial) answer: engage patients w disease in decision making, v broad convo needed #sacklerscicomm
"Research-based approaches [...] don't just allow us to bring the best science to public conversations but also loopback from those conversations and inform our and scientific enterprise." @scheufele at #SacklerSciComm
On the #sacklerscicomm question of how to decide where to draw the line on human gene editing: @_devangm provided a fascinating framework for thinking about the question: https://t.co/N7lj7KaRIu
What picture do you use to illustrate your point? What is this picture conveying to the audience? Finally the importance of #visualcomm mentioned at the #SacklerSciComm
Dean: The landscape of journalism is changing dramatically. The definition for "respectable journalist" is also adjusting. #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
#SacklerSciComm
Very good point made: in a democracy, the public should be involved early at the decision process re: scientific technologies approval. One major hurdle to be creatively overcome - too many ppl involved slows or completely inhibits any decision taking.
Dean proposes cool idea of media-sponsored forum on science topics (a la candidate forum before election) #SacklerSciComm
My takeaway from the current #SacklerSciComm session: improving #scicomm is a lot about improving public debate; need to grapple w complex issues more effectively & w more humility
Great to see robust public convo on Twitter since there is no room for on on the agenda at #Sacklerscicomm 1/2
@scheufele - wide range of empirical questions into how to set/up increase the bandwith for civic debate; particularly about equity. #SacklerSciComm
#SacklerSciComm Matthew Porteus: NIH doesn't have patient advocates on grant review panels for gene editing proposals. Panel is primarily academic peers in the gene editing discipline. My reaction and other audience members around me: WTF?!?!
Cory Dean: Should news media convene public discussions about issues such as social & ethical issues associated with human genome editing (on analogy of media orgs convening candidate forums)? #SacklerSciComm
Does anyone know what the spam they're talking about on the #SacklerSciComm hashtag? When I look all I see are live tweets and discussions on how homogenously white the panel's been. And I'd like to believe that the latter isn't the spam of which they speak.
Moderator Qs outnumber audience Qs roughly 3-1. At best 3 questions per panel. #Sacklerscicomm 2/2
This is an interesting piece, but doesn’t touch on a deeper issue: who gets to decide what is “debilitating”? Many people live & thrive with, & embrace what others consider “defects” #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/JcXjcKljgK
On the #sacklerscicomm question of how to decide where to draw the line on human gene editing: @_devangm provided a fascinating framework for thinking about the question: https://t.co/N7lj7KaRIu
(Paraphrasing) @scheufele: paradoxical times - we live in a world where more information is available and it's easier to have exchanges online; yet, we are only seeing content that aligns with our own beliefs and world views. #SacklerSciComm #Scicomm
"More of a comment than a question..." Who just got conference bingo? #SacklerSciComm
"Don’t just allow us to bring the best science to public conversations, but also loop back from those conversations and inform our scientific enterprise." Final words by @scheufele at #SacklerSciComm
bandwidth for civic discourse is critical, but what can science do to increase it w/ audiences that don't trust science? #SacklerSciComm
By now we've established that lacking knowledge isn't actually the #scicomm issue. A conference on public engagement (esp in 2017) needs far more discussion about #democracy #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/3rUULYgY7B
#SacklerSciComm
Very good point made: in a democracy, the public should be involved early at the decision process re: scientific technologies approval. One major hurdle to be creatively overcome - too many ppl involved slows or completely inhibits any decision taking.
hi @theNASciences, just finished curating Part 2 of #SacklerSciComm storify https://t.co/ajckYYCaB9. Estimate 50% of tweets =spam. ironic ex of how STEM health environment etc convos being hijacked by nefarious financial & political agents?
Dear #SacklerSciComm friends, if you'd like to ask a question pleazzzze don't monopolize the mic. Help maximize time for other people to ask questions. #SacklerSciComm
👏👏👏Fantastic live feed 📱💻& transcription of The Science of #Science #Communication by @theNASciences. Enables 🌎🌍🌏 engagement https://t.co/X8JhhNjgtG #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
Does that guy have a question? #SacklerScicomm
Good commentary from Dave Guston at #SacklerScicomm on STS, responsible innovation, and what a lot of us are engaged in
That awkward moment when someone goes on a long-winded comment instead of asking a question... #SacklerSciComm
Science is not the special snowflake here. We’re talking the science of comms period. Science is just the lens/app #SacklerSciComm
Good news #SacklerSciComm tweeters, there is now an electrical charging station in the West Court so you'll be ready for tonight's keynote with @Atul_Gawande! https://t.co/4Hu60shuqG
@brossardd Also, please tell me you were invited to #SacklerSciComm? You are my #scioscicomm giant.

Does anyone know what the spam they're talking about on the #SacklerSciComm hashtag? When I look all I see are live tweets and discussions on how homogenously white the panel's been. And I'd like to believe that the latter isn't the spam of which they speak.
Side question: There have been a couple of references at #SacklerSciComm to Asilomar conference. It happened the year I started college (and I have a LOT of grey in my beard). How many people in audience know what it was?
Should the goal of #SciComm be to foster a strong democracy and more informed public debates? #SacklerSciComm
It’s (almost) on! Tweeters at #SacklerSciComm, meet up in the reception, far right. I have 2 say this now bc phone is about to die.
@BenLillie I'm in. Wishing we were seeing more of this exact thing at #SacklerSciComm
@brossardd Relates to PSA that won award #visualie pay gap https://t.co/jzy0mULpFT #sacklerscicomm Somehow - the "image" got msg across
Our Uk attempt to synthesise what we know about engaging the public on genome editing #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/p7POZjJLpY
At Nat Geo SnapChat team growing faster than any other platform team. "Ephemeral content will provide the best engagement rate [in 2018]" --https://t.co/PAQKTHfJUx Why no mentions #SacklerSciComm?
Porteus: "bringing someone up to normal vs. bringing them past normal"
Wouldn't that depend on how you define "normal"? #SacklerSciComm
Did @nytimes panelist at #SacklerSciComm really just say the old gray lady wasn't sure how to deal with financial conflicts of interest among scientists on which it reports? Seems like a no-brainer---disclose conflicts so readers can make up their own minds. What am I missing?
NYT’s Cornelia Dean calls out key problem in covering scientific advances: inventor often holds patent and has $$ interests. #SacklerSciComm
Q: Looking ahead at ability to communicate science, what's 1 thing you would look for to say progress is being made? #SacklerSciComm
Porteus is insisting that there’s a “clear” diff between “bringing someone up to normal” vs. improving beyond normal. But he’s not addressing a central concern: what is “normal”, & who gets to define it? #SacklerSciComm
💯disagree with NYT Cornelia Dean. Shouldn't #journalism report the news as well as lead the reader? Consuming news media since childhood, I find tremendous value in the news & views, the analysis, position of the Editorial Boards, and OpEds/debates. #SacklerSciComm #SciComm
Cory Dean notes conflict of interest “the intractable issue” in CRISPR news coverage. Potential for bias ALWAYS needs to be disclosed and publics decide how to weigh that #Sacklerscicomm #scicomm
At #SacklerSciComm @rickspaceweiss brings up important point: equity issues need to be discussed early and often when it comes to #GeneEditing (and other enhancements).
Dean- scientists should be citizens as well as researchers. YES #sacklerscicomm
Related to #SacklerSciComm mention of scientists who are simultaneously pioneering new technologies & questioning their application, Kevin Esvelt inspires me https://t.co/PEjF3EzcGE
A gene-editing pioneer is now saying: Please do NOT use gene-editing to get rid of invasive species. Fortunately, New Zealand is working on other options: https://t.co/jxF0rDlB98
Cory Dean: I will be happy if 10 years from now scientists feel they have responsibility to participate in civic discussion #SacklerSciComm
Did someone just say that we could eventually be bringing people with genetic diseases "up to normal"? Reason for diverse perspectives in dialogue about science-society issues #12093. #sacklerscicomm
Echo of comments earlier this week #knowledgeparadox #aplu2017 -- More information yet more narrowly cast according to prior personal conceptions -- @scheufele #SacklerSciComm @APLU_News https://t.co/S8ezNSds6n

Some of the #SacklerSciComm posts I'm seeing reminded me of this Tweet from Ed Yong via @RickBorchelt and @SigmaXiSociety. https://t.co/ZVsCqwY7pS https://t.co/RA02q2doLx
Every sci-comm conference devolves into Entmoot. Hours and hours to debate and agree upon the most basic things, while war rages around.
I agree with Cory Dean’s future vision: researchers are citizens. #sacklerscicomm

Slightly shocked that the first day of #SacklerSciComm passed with only one mention of social media. Looking forward to tomorrow's opening session!
Yet another time - audience! Study their level, wills, problems, - and talk to whom they are not to whom you want them to be #SacklerSciComm
Frank Senso makes #storytelling sound (and look) easy - it's all about compelling characters, overcoming obstacles, to achieve a worthy outcome. Practice your stories. #sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Frank Sesno: "Compelling characters overcoming obstacles to achieve a worthy outcome - if we can't tell stories about science, we can't tell stories about anything." Brilliant. #SacklerSciComm
Great stories are compelling characters overcoming obstacles to achieve a worthy outcomes. THAT'S WHAT SCIENCE IS -Frank Sesno #scicomm #sacklerscicomm
Frank Senso: A story is compelling characters overcoming obstacles to achieve a worthy outcome. That's what science is about. #SacklerSciComm
👏A story is compelling characters, overcoming obstacles, to achieve worthy outcomes: @FrankSesno Great reminder! K.I.S.S. #Sacklerscicomm #scicomm
Thank you @theNASciences and #sacklerscicomm and co-Tweeps in #scicomm
Closing remarks #sacklerscicomm. “In this polarized environment, it’s important to get out ahead w/ good information and w/ relationships.
#SacklerScicomm speakers keep saying stories are mainly a better way to teach (#deficitmodel)? Surely they do more than that? I suspect stories are great because they also allow us to #frame and talk about things like motivations (#warmth) and effort (#competence) ...
Thank you, @franksesno, for moderating today's #SacklerSciComm conversations! We thank all of today's speakers as well. https://t.co/UkfOxPxe2L

@JohnBesley Well, they talked about stories simplistically in discussion, but we have yet to see any of the research presentations talk about storytelling strategies adapted to particular issues, audiences, etc. I'd like to see more of that. #SacklerSciComm

Compelling characters overcoming obstacles to achieve worthy outcomes: That's what science is. Wrap of Day one by Frank Sesno. #SacklerSciComm.
We do science booths (nanomaterials, climate modeling) at Seattle farmers markets. See @SciMarketUW. We've learned:
1. Interaction is key. No one wants a lecture
2. People want to share their views. Listen
3. Engaging w adults works! People ❤️ science

@Sarah_Mojarad @scheufele Recognising and then interpreting those aligned beliefs and views is a skill much needed by #SciComm. Irnocially, I feel it hearkens to an age of #RelationshipMarketing when clients' need, concerns, motivators were better understood. #SacklerSciComm

@blew1000 @scheufele Have to say this is a good point, Bruce. This reflects many bits from the Shalom Schwatz, Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars, et al stream of cross-cultural psychology. More than decent research to back this all up. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
But the news media remain a key source for scientific info to the general public, regardless of trust #SacklerScicomm @SciPublic @MCNisbet https://t.co/rOD8HqeM2R

It's 11pm here and I'm just tuning in to #SacklerSciComm from the United Kingdom, via livestream! Since I'm really just getting started on my #scicomm career, I'm very excited to hear some words of wisdom :)
Sad to see the lack of diversity at #SacklerSciComm. Diversity in science grows from within. Make yourself heard, and don't forget there's a community our there for you.
Final talk for today: The Mistrust of Science by @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm #scicomm
I am confused by the continued reference to “practitioners” Am I a scientist or a #scicomm “practitioner”? Think I am both #sacklerscicomm

Science is a way of understanding universe by testing and does not necessarily agree with divinity, common sense or belief #sacklerscicomm

Atul Gwande: science is a commitment to another way of thinking. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/QXmS17IWav
@Atul_Gawande People in science make a commitment to an unnatural way of thinking. Challenging common sense assumptions. #SacklerSciComm

Scientist have an experimental mind- it explains the world by successive estimations yet many people don’t trust scientists #SacklerSciComm
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that the *academics* who are discussing #scicomm at #SacklerSciComm are out of touch with the community.
“The scientist explains the work by successive approximations.”—Edwin Hubble quotes Atul Gawande #SacklerScicomm
So far, @Atul_Gawande has been rather powerful, his imagery is engaging & provocative to the #SciComm questions that have been dealt w/ all day long at #SacklerSciComm. https://t.co/VBVVwdThSG
@Atul_Gawande talking about the mistrust of science. "Science is a commitment to a systematic approach to knowledge - which may be counterintuitive. Contradictory evidence can always emerge." #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/zvEG1jxAC2
#sacklerscicomm Atul Gawande Science is a commitment to a systematic way of thinking and explaining the universe. Scientists are making a commitment to a not-normal way of thinking – going against common sense, divinity explanations, personal experiences in many cases.

From @Atul_Gawande: “scientists have healthy skepticism, suspended judgement, & disciplined imagination.” Not the way most people think about the world. #SacklerScicomm #scicomm
When science clashes with intuitive beliefs we tend to go with intuition - that is how most people make decisions - emotion #SacklerSciComm
Heard at #Sacklerscicomm "vaccines rates have not declined significantly" and 2 hours later "vaccines rates have plunged". Let's get the facts straight
Once embedded, beliefs are extremely hard to change and trust in the scientific community is in decline says keynote speaker @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/Ep0evIFK1t
@BioBeef Good point by that intuitive beliefs & emotion [have significant] influence on how people make decisions. #SciComm #SacklerSciComm
Keynote speaker's claim that trust in scientific community has been steadily declining is incorrect. The reality is that trust in All institutions has been declining in the USA. #Sacklerscicomm
Today we have factions that claim their own knowledge base that may be in conflict with science. - @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm

"we most resist scientific facts when they contradict our intuitions and beliefs...especially when they contradict our actions" @Atul_Gawande #sacklerscicomm
Great point being made from @Atul_Gawande: people don't dismiss science in *general,* they dismiss a *specific* scientific authority, and say their *own* scientific authority provides the stronger, truer science. Important implications!! #SacklerSciComm

5. Insist on impossible standards
#SacklerSciComm @Atul_Gawande quoting The Debunking Handbook, which was assigned reading in #UGIS https://t.co/9cPNg5ImDN
Asserting true facts of good science is shown to be more effective than trying to rebut or debunk bad science, since our brains are hardwired to defend against attacks to our preconceived views. #SacklerSciComm
Rebutting bad science is not effective but asserting true facts is effective & important to expose the bad science pattern #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Keynote: When people dismiss science, they are dismissing science authorities & not claiming that science is wrong. Rather they are putting their trust in other entities that are saying our data/facts/experience are the truer ones than the scientific authorities

Having a Scientific view of the world is really about helping people understand what information to trust. @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm
Having a scientific understanding of the world is about helping people to understand who to trust WHILE maintaining the belief that you never know who to trust. That’s a complicated thing. @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm

. @atulgawande calls out false consensus on safety of opioids as an example of failure of majority science opinion. It really was indefensible, no one read the damn citation that started this mess. Also, down with the damn pain score. #SacklerSciComm
Our current toolkit for evaluating science - Review evidence, pedigree of scientists, relying on consensus - all more flawed than we acknowledge #SacklerSciComm
@Atul_Gawande Breaks through to the uncomfortable elephant in the room, acknowledging that medicine and pharma, present company included, contributed to the opioid epidemic. Science not infallible. #SacklerSciComm
We can't always trust the scientific consensus: @Atul_Gawande confronting the painful truth that he advised patients that opioids were safe based on the scientific consensus: "we caused the opiod crisis" #SacklerSciComm
How about social media platforms like Twitter train scientists to communicate more effectively so we can move beyond pseudoscience?#SacklerSciComm @OpenImpactTeam
@Atul_Gawande sadly continues the trend at #SacklerSciComm of politicizing science. Many talks today on gentle messaging and wider audience, all thrown in the trash by the keynote speaker+echo chamber who paint R’s as broadly as those generalizing Muslims to be terrorists. #irony
The scientific community tends to be self correcting even though it is not well organized and it is rather rickety up close #SacklerSciComm
So many gems in @Atul_Gawande's speech at #SacklerSciComm. You can find the essence of it in his New Yorker article. https://t.co/X0zbXxTsFW
Science, like it or not, is a community endeavor. How we understand it is a group effort. @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm

Science is social enterprise... and has been self-correcting. But up-close it isn't pretty. Need to confront "the elitism of the process and the democratization of the data" @Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm
My take on @Atul_Gawande message: Science is a process—an approach—not a set of indelible facts #sacklerscicomm
Science is a social enterprise. It allows for people to create democratic access. #sacklerscicomm
“In science there is an elitism of our method but a democratization of our data” - Atul Gawande #SacklerScicomm
@Atul_Gawande Elitism of method, but democratization of data. It's a good thing, but a messier situation. #SacklerSciComm

@Atul_Gawande is the perfect example of a good #science communicator. He weaves an interesting story, connects with the audience, demonstrates passion & delivers a clear message. #SacklerSciComm
Atul Gawande: We need more re-analyses of existing claims and datasets. #SacklerSciComm
"The @NewYorker 's fact checking process kicks peer review in the ass"
...
"They even fact checked the jokes"
@Atul_Gawande #sacklerscicomm
.@Atul_Gawande: I've been subject to peer review and to New Yorker fact-checking process. Latter "kick's peer review's ass every day." #sacklerscicomm
“Knowledge lives in body of the work more than any one individual.” Science self correcting over time, but up close: a “rickety looking vehicle” #scicomm #SacklerSciComm @Atul_Gawande
@Atul_Gawande I've been subjected to the peer review process and the New Yorker fact checking process. And the New Yorker process kicks ass every time. #SacklerSciComm
Although scientists may be elite, data analysis & publication tends to more democratic; we need to publish -ve results too #SacklerScicomm
Takeaway @Atul_Gawande:
It’s not whether you’re pro- or anti-science that’s the issue. People are choosing pseudoscience they agree with over science that they don’t. The real issue is whether you can tell the difference.

Agree more support for #broaderimpacts & boundary orgs is needed, BUT scientists absolutely SHOULD have to do *some* form of #scicomm. There's a continuum of what that actually entails though, and should factor in responsibility, support, and skills. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/iwvkNC0tAC
I'd like to push back on the idea that every scientist should also do #scicomm. Scientists have full time jobs, and are already required to have multiple skill sets. We need more people (and more funding) to fill the gap, rather than give scientists more to do. #SacklerSciComm
Talk by @Atul_Gawande at #SacklerSciComm has an audience at the end of a long day of academic talks completely enthralled with no slides. Because he’s using genuine anecdotes, admittedly unsure ideas, and emotional adjectives. A very human talk about science and #scicomm

#sacklerscicomm What’s the scientist’s responsibility for the gap between science and understanding? The decline of trust may be shared by scientists speaking in jargon and a distrustful, naive society.

Scientists face their own fallibility in light of data Working on important problems will always have consequences Best surgeons deal w uncertainty by owning and learning from mistakes. Gawande #SacklerSciComm
My take on @Atul_Gawande's A to a great Q about difference btwn surgeons & geoscientists. Surgeons must grapple with uncertainty, decide and move on quickly. Do we? Nope. We are like the primary care doc acting in geologic time, you don't have to listen to us. 😂 #sacklerscicomm

most of us know that the deficit model is wrong, but we still operate as though it wasn't, because that's what we're "used to" and that's what's "cheapest" and "easiest" and lets us check the deliverable boxes. But we need to do better. #socmar #consmark #scicomm #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/8i9J9vcJTx
Alan Leshner: The deficit model is wrong. People rarely make decisions solely on science. How you frame the issue is critically important. #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/0BIPYIHfhw

#sacklerscicomm @Atul_Gawande A scientific mindset means that you never have a complete sense of trust.
Humans are driven more by fear than we are by positive stories & heroics need to show how science can solve crucial problems #SacklerSciComm
#sacklerscicomm Atul Gawande: Being able to explain your stories in a way that people care about and understand -- that is a key to #SciComm
Between two palm trees—@theNASciences #SacklerSciComm meeting @Atul_Gawande discusses importance of communication in #science and #healthcare https://t.co/bTboWExMUE
.@Atul_Gawande gives props to his @NewYorker colleague @malcolmgladwell and his skills at celebrating people who have insight and being able to communicate how that matters to people’s individual lives. #SacklerSciComm
@Atul_Gawande The whole field of solutions journalism #soljourno helps to illuminate what's possible. One of the great practitioners is Malcolm @Gladwell #SacklerSciComm
People can choose to focus on positive over negative. We can learn humanistic responses from palliative care. Atul Gawande #SacklerSciComm

@SunshineMenezes Really wish I was in attendance. Learning more about #SacklerSciComm now — happy to see this conversation thread happening. Kudos to you @SunshineMenezes for sharing this.
@kylemarian 🤷🏽♀️I’ve been following the tweets coming from #SacklerSciComm and your observation seems to be the consensus
#SacklerSciComm. Critical question - Where are post conference drinks?
@drdarsci Right?! 👏🏽🎯 B/T @Atul_Gawande, @alanalda @alda ~ what a succinct value they express: relaying the #storytelling & stories in a [#relevant & #empathetic] way that people care about & [stay engaged or motivated by sciences to want to] understand...#SciComm #SacklerSciComm

@Sheril_ @FromTheLabBench @_lindsayp I have a colleague in HCI who has a rule: when asked to speak on a panel, he asks who else is invited. If the panel is white and male, he declines and provides a list of women and POC. I would suggest the men of #scicomm adopt this rule as well.

@alie_astrocyte Is #SacklerSciComm an #sfn hashtag?
After-hours #SacklerSciComm post, from afar... Nice to see several stalwart #scicomm tweeters in the mix today, and *great* to see a growing, engaged, and energized mix of ppl from a wide diversity of backgrounds and interests. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Realized that #scicomm researchers are not really good at #visualcomm -seems to be a disconnect and not what I expected #firsttime #SacklerSciComm
@jamieloizzo @FosterDanielD Yeah, at #SacklerSciComm today one speaker talked about the hierarchy of sciences, and social science is not high on the list. And I don't think #agriculture even made it. So a dual-front battle. #teachagchat
@BioBeef i.e. looking to the long game science mostly gets there even if a bit clumsily; scientists know this & deal with it. MSM understandably looks to the shorter game, leaving it often saying things before post-publication peer-review, etc., has kicked in #SacklerSciComm
@VivianT88 @Atul_Gawande Why is “evidence-based science” a peeve? Perhaps you mean something about the phrase? #sacklerscicomm
Agreed, and know how properly debunk myths. #SacklerScicomm https://t.co/BognrsSjqN
Know the myths, and why they are myths, as well as the anti-GMO crowd does. Do your homework on anti websites. https://t.co/u27YQs12bj
Yes! Though the "mostly" qualifier in the slide is disturbing. It's like a "little" bit pregnant. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/O3MWQqYSv1

#scicomm folks, especially #SacklerSciComm - I can't highly enough recommend Bernie Lightman's Victorian Popularizers of Science: https://t.co/ACwWaj5XmV #histsci #histscicomm
@BioBeef Bit off-topic for #SacklerScicomm maybe, but perhaps we (scientists) need to file 'reports' of what we did irrespective of outcome or "discoveries"?
To be clear, I think #SacklerSciComm is a great opportunity and place to share ideas and research but I do like the amount of critical reflection taking place because it's a learning moment for all of us.
A lot of the discussion has been rightly placed at the lack of strong visual communication at #SacklerSciComm But we can't forgot the power of strong public speaking skills -- emotion, connection, and authenticity help #scicomm storytelling as well. Keynote was best of the day
@garibaygroup Ha! yeah I am curious about that "mostly" too and its context in the talk...but I am not actually there at #SacklerSciComm

@Atul_Gawande #SacklerSciComm #scicomm https://t.co/yUApi5OqDD
Easy to see real life examples of this, too. #GMOs and Seralini, #vaccines and (say) 'The Health Ranger' (or any number of other people), #glyphosate and taking IARC out of context (a more subtle thing in this case). #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/2SWQluScG5
Great point being made from @Atul_Gawande: people don't dismiss science in *general,* they dismiss a *specific* scientific authority, and say their *own* scientific authority provides the stronger, truer science. Important implications!! #SacklerSciComm

Reflecting on Day 1 of #SacklerSciComm. In side convos I heard expressed desire for some clear practicals, which can be somewhat challenging to tease out during discussion on the science of #scicomm, but...
A good summary of what we’re hearing at #SacklerSciComm can be found in 2016 @theNASEM report on Communicating Chemistry. Check out this guide for scientists! https://t.co/jr2Ezy8hvT https://t.co/t5rURERC3z
Fab day at the #SacklerSciComm meeting. Takeaway: scientists need to find ways to engage in public discourse. With legislators, advocate for important topics rather than specific policies. #scicomm https://t.co/ZrzNIW8De8
Apparently the grad student tuition hike is not coming up at all at #SacklerScicomm. At least according to Twitter. There will be no science to communicate if most grad students quit because they’re taxed on income they don’t make.
@BioBeef To what extent is latter (in part) because of MSM presenting each new thing as a "discovery" and "right", with readers later learning they proved to be wrong? Better to present as on-going story? #SacklerSciComm
Want to enhance your #scicomm knowledge? Join us online @theNASciences for the #SacklerSciComm Nov 16-17 https://t.co/FLIbsNCfLm
I think the latter is largely caused by MSM presenting science as sudden, amazing results instead of a process that takes time & many people. #SacklerSciComm https://t.co/ebAYi3Ntf4
@BioBeef To what extent is latter (in part) because of MSM presenting each new thing as a "discovery" and "right", with readers later learning they proved to be wrong? Better to present as on-going story? #SacklerSciComm
@SnowHydro Yes - that's what I was referring to with "discovery" (focuses on one group, one finding out of many that were part of the new thing, leaves out long backstory, etc.) #SacklerSciComm
Sounds like #SacklerSciComm needs a little help with creating more effective, visual, and engaging #scicomm.
I have just the then 😉 Free email courses and blogs/comics made just for scientists, academics & researchers

For #scicomm with limited budgets, critical questions include "What works?" and "What doesn't?" Tomorrow at #SacklerSciComm, I will run a panel on #scicomm evaluation featuring James Fowler. Link here https://t.co/PRDfHI0kIL at 8:45am Eastern to see us there.

So, I am curious: what would you rather be talking about at the #SacklerSciComm? Social media? Issue specific? Concrete strategies? Asking for a friend.
