Hi #AcademicTwitter
The science of #ScienceCommunication is a thing. This means there r scientists who study what r the best ways to communicate science, to engage the public, change attitude & behavior, excite ppl abt #science & more. Here r some of those ppl:

@JohnBesley is a professor @michiganstateu. He studies public opinion abt sci, landscape analyses to understand scientific communities & how they think abt SciComm & is the voice of empathy in SciComm. I appreciate his mentorship & emphasis on goals:

Many have thought that @JohnBesley & Anthony Dudo r the same person but they r not! Anthony is a professor @txadpr. He studies the intersection of science, policy & media & scientists' engagement with the public.
I refer to the same link above on goals &objectives in SciComm.

@LandrumAR is a professor @TexasTech. She studies SciComm and has done some very interesting work on conspiracy theorists and flat earthers, the role of Youtube in SciComm & more. Here's another comic I made inspired by her:
