Let #Science blossom like the Cherry this #Spring!
With ideas afresh as the birds that sing.
In every petal, a breakthrough to find,
A world of wonder expanding the mind.
In labs, in fields, in the hearts of us all,
Let science bloom, and humanity stand tall.
#ScienceAdvocacyHumor
Why do science advocates make terrible stand-up comedians?
Because every punchline needs #evidence-based delivery.
Advocating for science:
Day 1: “I have compelling evidence!”
Day 3: “I have… a really good PowerPoint!”
Day 7: “Please, just let me present the lab results…”

Hi I am an Instructor working in environmental health, Biophotonics and Science Advocacy+Policy. I’m a member of Global Young Academy and steering committee leader of AAAS Section X
Science advocacy =
💡 Informed
🧠 Thoughtful
📣 Vocal
❤️ Compassionate
You’re not “just a scientist.”
You’re a #changemaker.
Let’s go.
#SciComm #ScienceAdvocacy #SciForSociety
🌱 You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to start.
The world needs more science-literate, #justice-minded voices.
Why not yours?
Common myth: “Advocacy takes too much time.”
Reality:
5 minutes to send an email.
10 minutes to sign a letter.
1 hour to attend a town hall.
Tiny acts add up—just like data points.
Remember: #StrongerTogether
