Tbh this is a pretty big point. So my question is what are some of the ways that you reach/engage a non-scientific audience?
To add to this: what does a #SciComm presence actually look like on platforms like twitter, Instagram, etc.?
Also also, I want to add that I don’t think there’s one right answer. We all have a different way of communicating not just our science, but science as a whole.
(I guess I’m turning this into a thread/rant) but I struggled for a while debating between whether I should have made a science twitter vs. combining it with my personal account.
Although, I didn’t make my science Twitter for the sole purpose of communicating my science to non scientists. I leave that responsibility on my personal Twitter both on purpose and accident.

Recently, I received an email from my school’s disability office basically saying that I “haven’t been downloading the notes regularly” for one of my class (which I just received accommodations for last month). I understand they specifically hire note takers for that class...
But also, considering I am not the only one in that class that uses the notes I don’t understand why they would send me a paragraph long email saying how they “expect students receiving these services to use them regularly”
Again, I understand why they do expect students to use them regularly but also send a whole essay about expectations is unnecessary and IMO inconsiderate. I think it’s fair to say that some accommodations you don’t find very useful as the semester..

Believing people with GPAs lower than 3.0s have nothing “meaningful” to contribute is exactly why most STEM fields lack diversity and promote unintentional bias.
When I transferred to Tech my gpa dropped to a 2.1 one semester and I did not bring it up to a 3.0 by the time I graduated. Yet, I was accepted into a grad program with people who have graduated with 4.0s.
I almost didn’t even apply to grad school because I was worried I would not get in. Fostering this idea that having a high GPA matters excludes talent in all shapes and forms.

By plugging into the community! As a undergrad it was hard to express my true thoughts and feelings about being the only Black women in my department. On top of this when you’re not around/don’t see other Black scientists it’s easy to feel like your....1/
thoughts and feelings about why this is are invalid. One thing that helped me is to be real with myself and others. I found part of my voice when I first attended @NABGSocial. Being in a room of other Black geologists and geology student was EMPOWERING. 2/
If I didn’t have the support or community with them, I don’t think I would have remained as sane as I am now (which isn’t that much 🤣). But moral of the story, when you are honest about what you’re going through you inadvertently give others the permission to do the same! 😊

Rant: Although I’m super happy to be back on campus and learn better in a face to face classroom setting, I must say I feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable going back to in person classes so soon (especially, after last semester). 1/
I have such mixed feelings being a new grad student and being in a class with 30+ students (only one of my classes). On one hand I feel overjoyed at the fact that I’m taking classes that I’m 1)truly excited for and 2) in a setting that isn’t depressing (visually) 2/
On the other hand, have extreme anxiety when it comes to seeing students (mostly undergrads) not wearing masks, partying, and having no true concern about the well-being of themselves and others. 3/

What I got from this is that any progress as allies, even if it is performative, is progress in and of itself. Which, to a certain extent I mildly agree with. I don’t agree with everything that he wrote but it does bring a new perspective in how we deal...1/5
with the “misbehavior” of allies. In the case, with Jen Heemstra she was wrong in her response multiple times, and I’m not dismissing that. On the other side I do understand where he’s coming from when he says that her being dragged was “misguided and off-target”. 2/5
I don’t think he’s giving her a pass for her bs, but rather saying bullying her doesn’t help anyone, especially not BIPOC. We can’t claim to “encourage” dialogue and then dismiss others when they say something that’s not right (if they are willing to listen). 3/5

Thread: I’ve seen a couple of tweets about people feeling bad for wanting to post things unrelated to current circumstances. I’m here to say it means nothing to tweet #blacklivesmatter if you are not committed to actively speaking out and standing up against racism. 1/5
For those concerned about whether they’re being a good ally if they post unrelated tweets, it doesn’t matter if you are not committed to actively speaking out and standing up against systematic oppression. 2/5
There are people on here that have retweeted black lives matter to cross out their “ally checklist”. They tweet black lives matter while having no further intention to make this statement true. 3/5
