This is the only thing I can find on Bluesky about this virtual #SciComm summit, but look at the heavy hitters in this lineup!
Run by Eco Well: founded by Jen Novakovich, scicomm'er/cosmetic scientist, also co-founded BeautySciComm. EW/BSC run boot camps, competitions, cohorts- links in next post
Thanks!
Hey #UGA folks, help spread the word? I'd love to have a few more graduate students join my GRSC8200 course this semester - Communicating research and scholarship to non-specialist audiences. We work with multiple audiences and formats. Shoot me a note if you have questions! #scicomm
During #AAA2025 seems like a good time to re-up this. LMK if you have any questions about UGA or life in Athens!

Super excited to be taking the #train from Atlanta to New Orleans for #AAA2025! See you all soon(ish)! #anthropology
Flyer with a mountain landscape gives details on a talk that will be held at the University of Georgia today, October 29th, at 12:30 pm in Baldwin Hall, room G41. The talk is titled: The future of the Basque pastoral system. A lunch and learn with Simon Maraud and Edwige Marty.
If you're in Athens, come see us at 12:30 today for updates on our research project in the #BasqueCountry
New article! ...in which we maybe get a little provocative by asking researchers to hold to a higher standard when they call their work #co-production of knowledge. 50 free e-prints at this link. 🧪 #anthrosky #engagedresearch #Basque #SES bit.ly/3II82Nh

Ready to welcome our new graduate students!
Just updated the #SciComm community directory on my website! www.virginiaschutte.com/scicomm-comm...
I added a "meet IRL" section that includes @capscicomm.org and 5 groups for folks around England, those lucky ducks
Want me to add a place you hang out? LMK who to get sharing permission from!
“In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one that just ended in the courts of North Dakota,” said attorney Martin Garbus, an acclaimed free speech defender whose previous clients include Nelson Mandela, Daniel Ellsberg, and Vaclav Havel.
A new Melting Metropolis opportunity!

The French government has released a national climate adaptation plan (NDC) that accounts for a 4-degrees-Celsius temperature rise above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...
Why did I do this?
The short answer? Everyone is saying “someone should do something,” and I am someone.
An adorable anecdote as an antidote to the horrible: Ran a race this weekend that had me looping back by people finishing their 1st mile as I was on my 2nd. A kiddo, maybe four years old, EXUBERANTLY says to the person running with him, “I’ve never run a mile before IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!”
The #tradewar is on. Real-time electricity prices doubled few minutes after midnight EST in New England. 🔌💡
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
EPA will move to unravel landmark finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health, which would pave the way to end climate regulations across the economy.
Expect a legal fight on this one.

Super helpful thread from Dr. Koster for anyone submitting to / interacting with NSF. @jeremykoster.bsky.social I've so appreciated working with you! What a loss for the PI community.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist.
And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation.
A 🧵:
The National Science Foundation fired 168 workers today.
The NSF was established by Congress to promote science, advance public health and contribute to the national defense.

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public
for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession
I might be able to get behind that ;)
