I spoke to someone who said she was struggling with finding #WomenInPhysics #SciComm. So let's start a thread!
Science Communication can come in many forms. Eg. vlogging, podcasting, social media etc. To start off the thread, I'll be adding Science Communicators on Youtube. Please add to this list any WIP from any platform that is helping to make physics both entertaining and accessible.
@thephysicsgirl Diana Cowern is a Science Communicator who uploads creative and entertaining videos explaining in simple terms, complex physics, astronomy, and science-related topics.

@Looking_glass_u Mithuna Yoganathan makes videos about quantum mechanics.

@EverydaySciTV (@jessiescience)

In her videos, she describes the physics of something we might use everyday, answer science questions about chemistry, biology, math, geology, the earth, space, life, etc, and much more.

@drbecky_ is an Astrophysicist researching how supermassive black holes affect galaxies. In her own words, "I get overly enthusiastic about space on YouTube":

@upndatom Jade Tan-Holmes, "just a girl trying to understand the universe through Wikipedia articles."

@TobyHendy, "on my channel you can expect to see videos about physics, maths, astronomy and beauty in the world around us."

@Theseoulsearch, Michelle Choi is studying Applied Physics and shares her day/week in life as a physics student on her channel.

@alicejanelake, on her channel (AliceDoesPhysics), Alice creates, "vlogs of my time at university, give advice for studying physics and maths, with a few videos on my favourite Physics topics thrown in too!"

Potatotazers, she sometimes creates travel vlogs, but mostly her channel consists of (my favourite), study with me videos.

PaigeY, is a "student vlogger studying Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge."

@LuMontes, Lucia much like myself, is a non-traditional student. She is a "Journalism graduate and Maths & Physics student who likes to talk about space, movies, tv shows, and books."

youtube.com/watch?v=l2DP9r…
@hannahvictorius, Hannah is also a non-traditional student. "I have set up this channel to document my (mostly university) life as I embark on a career change to become a physicist. I already have a degree (I graduated six years ago).
The other aspect of this channel is to help me improve my communication and public speaking skills."

#Thread #Science, le grand détournement !

Après :

- l'étude sur "l'impact de l'intensification récente des pratiques agricoles sur les oiseaux"
&
- l'étude sur "l'inutilité des herbicides"

Les agronomes sont, encore, obligés de débunker poliment une nouvelle mauvaise étude ⤵️
Le point commun entre ces 3 études ?
Elles ont toutes été réalisées dans la même zone géographique, impliquant toujours le même chercheur et auteur...
Mais surtout elles ont été très largement médiatisées !
Pourquoi ?
Bah justement parce qu'elles ont été écrites pour ça...
Ces études sont calibrées pour fournir un sujet croustillant aux journalistes en surfant sur la vague de l'écologisme !
Critique des #pesticides, impacts des pratiques agricoles sur la #biodiversité ...
Mais surtout elles font passer les #agriculteurs pour de parfaits imbéciles !

Scicomm researcher: The fact is that telling people more facts doesn't change their mind.

Scicommer: Ok... But I think this piece I'm writing to debunk pseudoscience will help.

SR: NO IT WON'T BECAUSE LISTEN TO THE SCICOMM FACT I JUST TOL- oh... oh dear...

#scicomm
I'm a scicommer with much respect for both scicomm researchers and fellow scicommers. It's ok for us to laugh at ourselves everyone!

Don't come here to get defensive about your piece that debunks pseudoscience please 😂 or do! Up to you mate 😘
Interesting to note: Scicommers familiar with scicomm research seem to get this tweet and laugh at the complexity and paradoxes of their field.
Those more unwilling to accept this seem to be research scientists who do scicomm but aren't familiar with relevant scicomm research.

Today the Science & Technology Select Committee published its report about regulating social media. Here it is: parliament.uk/business/commi… Couple of thoughts. #Thread
It’s not bad. It says that platforms should have a ‘duty of care’, for kids using their services - such as default high privacy & filtering certain harmful content. Also wants Ofcom to be regulate that duty, so it can check if they’re up to scratch & fine if not. Reasonable, imho
Other positives: mandatory PHSE classes, more data for researchers, tech companies should invest in AI responses to ‘deep fakes’ (first time a Select Committee has brought this up perhaps?). I can get behind all this. (Check this deep fake: )

At @OSULawDEPC for the @DrugPolicyOrg @acluohio conference From Punishment to Public Health. I am going to tweet a lot about drug policy in the next two days. I know many people want to focus right now on the critical moment the nation is going through, feel free to mute me.
First speaker, opening keynote, is @SamuelKRoberts: “the War on Drugs has been fairly effective at what it was designed to do, which is to rationalize increasing inequality in health, education, labor, and opportunity in the post-1973 American economy.”
"This [the War on Drugs] was never about the drugs." @SamuelKRoberts drives home the point that the War on Drugs was backlash to the civil rights movement, anti-War movement, and an assault on poor people and people of color.

Alright y'all here's a straight value-packed thread

What's the topic?

Focus✅

Implement

Save your time

Triple your productivity

All that good stuff, so lesssgooo⬇️
What does focus mean to you?

You may think that focus is simply the absence of distraction

While this may "technically" be true that sentiment ignores the deeper principles of psychology and cognition

Instead, think of focus as an active skill that you can hone to elite levels
There's a ton of mainstream advice floating around out there that relies on developing your focus through willpower and trying harder

Remember though...

Less is more

You want to work smarter, not harder

The same principle applies to the stress you put on your noggin
