I'll speak on panel "Science Advice and Populism" at #AAASmtg (on @senseaboutsci.bsky.social approach) that follows panel on "path to trust in science" & feel I'm going to sound very repetitive and might have to say a few times "just like @dietram.bsky.social just said in the previous panel..." 😅

Eight points for effective flood risk communication These resources share insights from the October 2024 floods in Eastern Spain, triggered by the meteorological phenomenon DANA (which stands for Isolated Depression at High Altitude in Spanish). Drawin...

This is some of what we shared with those that might not be experts but find themselves having to consider flood risk communication (e.g. a small local townhall) : riskknowhow.org/make-sense-o...

1) the channels people wanted to receive info: why didn't the metro speakers say anything for example?
2) there was no addressing of what might be expected beliefs or behaviors based on past experiences. (E.g. getting cars from garages)
3) in general risk communication was an afterthought

We did some interviews post deadly flash floods in Eastern Spain a year ago about what people wanted on flood risk communications. Not many surprises here for people that work on this and there were key political failures but couple things I thought were interesting:

Really looking forward to moderating this discussion and hearing all your thoughts and discussion on what we all can do to support the very needed work of #PublicGoodCuration

Thoughtful inisghts from Disha Shetty at #WCSJ2025 on covering vulnerable communities and making women visible. Had the pleasure of hearing about her work empowering and engaging with communities when I moderated a panel with her on journalists supporting #RiskKnowHow in their communities.

Enjoyed moderating this session and learning from a great panel.

I did too! It was fantastic to hear about the work y'all are doing. I wish we had more time to go into the topic.

Nosotras en @riskknowhow.bsky.social nos centramos en la comunicación de riesgo y en asegurarnos que la información que se facilita es realmente útil para aquellas personas que lo necesitan. Una buena gestión de emergencias es MUCHO más pero si la comunicación no es parte del plan algo falló

Aquí mi compañera @mc-climent.bsky.social resume el trabajo que hicimos aprendiendo de testimonios post DANA en España sobre qué necesitamos para una buena comunicación sobre inundaciones. Y gracias en especial a aquellas personas que dejaron que les entrevistase y me compartieron su experiencias.

We also produced a video which compliments the guide published on our website. It breaks down each point, ensuring effective communication during flood emergencies. Watch in English and Spanish our website here 👉👉http://bit.ly/4mo1P7b

Our 8 points for effective flood risk communication, developed from insights collected after flash floods in Spain, aims to serve others planning risk communications to ensure they are useful, actionable and keep people safe. Read the resource here bit.ly/4mo1P7b

No he oido los podcasts, q veo q tien, pero si algunos videos con mi hija de Numberphile eso sí están en inglés...). Y las actividades de parallel.org.uk que coordina Simon Singh hacen link a materiales a veces. Pero todo en inglés...

Vale la pena leer esto que comparte Cintia con calma, especialmente desde el mundo de la ciencia. Muchos de los talleres y discusiones en las que intervengo o comparto perspectivas de mi experiencia y proyectos como @riskknowhow.bsky.social terminamos hablando de esto. Muy bueno el blog de resumen

Cuando las personas no actúan en línea con el conocimiento científico, solemos señalar la ignorancia o el consumo individual de información como la causa, pero disponer de información precisa no garantiza actuar conforme a la evidencia científica. comunicacioncientifica.fecyt.es/actualidad/c...

Want to learn about our #RiskComm workbook or the new Joining Forces network for academics & practitioners in Risk communication with @lr-foundation.bsky.social #IPUR @laramani14.bsky.social? Talk to @leonorsierra.bsky.social and Sam ElBadry at the #CurrentofChange symposium @asranetwork.org.

Poet Ben Okri on Becoming the Change kicks off the #CurrentsofChange conference @asranetwork.org. Looking forward to 2 days of learning from wide range of people & bringing that thinking to @Riskknowhow.bsky.social. About our responsibility on Earth: "we are here to transform and be transformed"

Salgo inspirada de esta reunión con el equipo fantástico de Medialab UGR 🤩 con muchísimas ganas d ver como podemos seguir colaborando y aprendiendo del trabajo que vienen haciendo desde Impronta Granada que es un gran ejemplo de como poner la ciencia y el conocimiento al servicio de la sociedad.

🧵 We're working to support better risk communication in policymaking.

Our team members @leonorsierra.bsky.social and Maricarmen Climént delivered two workshops for ministerial science advisers in the Spanish government, sparking rich discussions on how complex and vital risk communication is. 👇

Es un ejemplo que suelo usar en talleres de porque importa acercar ciencia, política y sociedad y de que las cosas pueden cambiar. Vale la pena leer el editorial entero.

I... don't know what to say. It's something. I think the worry is that if they think this is the reassuring version, what is the full honest version?

Umm ok, so I guess we are expecting more of these? (not sure how much that is supposed to be reassuring...) *every United pilot is trained for a wide range of potential issues, including radar or communications outages*.

I was asking my husband if he got it too as he is flying through Newark. And just as I was asking him the email came through. And wow 😳

Join me in 3 hrs for this discussion! I will talk about how we are trying to support community risk communicators through our initiative. Also if you are a risk communicator at #EGU25 come talk to me about trialing our workbook.

Muy interesante la discusión y tus contribuciones durante la sesión en EGU. (Soy la española que habló durante las preguntas y que es parte de @cienciamento.bsky.social, aunque estoy aquí hablando sobre mi proyecto en comunicación de riesgo).
