Happy National Science Appreciation Day! 🤩
Ok look - #science has had a rough year 🫠 and maybe doesn’t feel like celebrating.
But Miles Arnett & @disha-patel3.bsky.social say that we must continue to celebrate regardless and continue fighting for #better.

Attention Science Communicators!

We are conducting a survey on the landscape of science communication & need your help gathering experiences.

Please send this to #SciComm ppl you know. We want to get as thorough a sense of the state of the field as we can.
