Please don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying that this is something we shouldn't do. I think it's something we have to do.
But I think the people who do #sciencecommunication need to prepare themselves for a new onslaught of weaponized stupidity.
The link above mentions how science was done more publicly during COVID. I'm sure the editors meant something different, but the entire US scientific community is being destroyed right now because of what happened then.

Cluster scientist spotlight!
Sarah Chan, PhD PhD Student, Plant and Wildlife Sciences, Brigham Young University
What advice do you have for students interested in science?
"There is always more to know about our world, and the more your learn, the more you'll be able to figure out what new things YOU can discover."

#Hannover lädt zum Festival der Philosophie - und ich darf beitragen: Warum brauchen wir genau das Unperfekte, die Fehler, damit wir lernen können? Wie "lernen" wir immerfort, ohne uns dessen bewusst zu sein? Wir entsteht so ein Modell der Welt?

Next #SETILive: Tiny Asteroids Big Threats
TODAY, Thursday, May 01, 2025 11:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT
Scientists have used the JWST to detect 138 of the smallest asteroids (as small as 10 meters) ever observed in the asteroid belt. Join planetary astronomer Franck Marchis in a conversation with lead authors Artem Y. Burdanov and Julien de Wit as they discuss these smaller asteroids and what they can reveal about potential threats to our planet.

How do recommendation algorithms shape science content on social media? Weizenbaum scholars Clarissa Walter & Sascha Friesike have investigated this question in a two-year ethnography at a German Public Broadcast Service.

We are witnessing the destruction of science in America | Paul Darren Bieniasz

#ESA and the Euclid Consortium will have the first larger "Q1" science data release and publication of a major batch of #Euclid science papers coming week, March 19th.
Journalists can receive material under embargo starting tomorrow, March 14th, 12:00 CET. If you are interested then please sign up at

Know your #asteroids
Forbes @forbes calls 2024 YR4 'half a kilometer' & 'Disneyland-sized' https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2025/02/07/odds-of-disneyland-sized-asteroid-hitting-earth-just-went-up/, but its diameter is estimated as ~55m https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/sentry/details.html#?des=2024%20YR4
My working hypothesis is that the journalist got confused by 101955 Bennu, an asteroid with an estimated diameter of ~490m, which was called 'hill-sized' yesterday: https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-simulated-bennu-crashing-to-earth-in-september-2182-its-not-pretty

Probably about time for a new (re) #Introductions post to pin! Been bumbling around on Mastodon since November 2017 on one server or another, and happy to get cozy in a smaller server this time.
I’m not a heavy poster, but lean mostly towards #SciCom and pictures of the #critters and #wildlife I spot in my central Florida backyard or from adventures on my #camping trips.
I’m currently a #caregiver, formerly a professional #Library knowledge ninja. Strong believer in the #RightToRepair and lifelong #Sewcialist. I love fixing and mending things.
My #NeuroSpicy flavour is #80HD, so it may be unsurprising that my academic studies and interests are hella broad. I spend a lot of time digging into local ecology and #HabitatRestoration and preservation. I’m a #space and aeronautics nerd, but I'm also a #Polyglot with an academic background in #linguistics, adult literacy, and ESL. The other part of my academic background is the technical side of theatre.
Bonjour Mastodon #Astronomie #Spatial #Vulgarisation #Scicom je suis médiatrice scientifique en freelance et je cherche de nouveaux clients.
Je travaille entre autres pour le site web du CNES actuellement !
Si vous avez des contacts à l'ESA et au CNRS je suis preneuse !
Next Friday, Dec 6th, we will give a warm welcome to Leah Henrickson and Annette Leßmöllmann at the #ArtificialFriday

Attention: This Artificial Friday will start sooner than usual from
9 - 11am CET via Zoom
Registration per mail at nina.kalwa@kit.edu or https://artificial-friday.de/en/english/
Hey guys, my name is Tabea and I’m a historian. My research interests include #PublicHistory and #DigitalHumanities. Let's talk about this study and why it is complete nonsense for historians. #Skystorians #SciCom #Science
