Every science (and arts like Mathematics ;) ) should have an accessibility effort.

In a nutshell: Explaining the discipline, right up to the cutting edge, in simple terms, for anyone to understand.

And I don't mean just explaining each term once and then going back to opaque technospeak - a running translation effort, in order to bring the entire discipline into the commons of humanity.

Looking forward to presenting about the Ashley Caves Project in Vernal, #Utah next week. #caves #caving #geology #libraries #scienceoutreach

Turning research into must-see TV for kids!

"Nobel Prize to the Statistical Physics of artificial neural networks – why that's about physics and can't be otherwise"

Hopfield networks, Boltzmann machines. Well explained, brief yet detailed enough.

The yellow glow from sodium ions as electricity passes through a pickle, same kinda yellow that tells us that some stars are made of sodium

(Fun doing a quick little demo for my Univ social media folks. Only remembered to pull my phone out just before I stopped)

Did you know we wrote an article about our research especially for kids?

I had a blast at Espergærde Gymnasium! Danish high schools are impressive, from their labs to cozy sofa areas and huskmitnavn drawings. Had fun sharing my research and journey with first-year students. 100% recommend! #STEMeducation #scienceoutreach

When doing science #outreach in classroom, what are some ways to encourage kids across different age groups and backgrounds to see themselves in science? The goal is to promote #diversity in science, especially to reach children and young adults from underrepresented groups. @academicchatter #ScienceOutreach #DiversityInSTEM #DiversityInScience #DiversityInTech #DiversityInMed
