ICYMI: great piece on #science & public engagement by @Nancy_Baron http://bit.ly/1ejelmP HT @joshsilberg #AcadEng http://t.co/84d2CUoOqA

Still buoyed by discussions at #AcadEng, am "engaging" with @NOAA, @NASA, and @EPA in several meetings this week! #GIS @Esri

@NeilLewisJr Nice being in #AcadEng breakouts w/ you. Sorry we didn't have chance to chat further. Best wishes 4 success at UM

The words "humility" and "listening" need to be in this wordle in large letters! #AcadEng http://t.co/lVS9runBkv

Industry model in hiring = portfolio of projects rather than list of pubs, courses, GPA. A model for academia? via @AVastMachine #AcadEng

Great point by #AcadEng scribe Sarah Wilson: for young scholars it's not so much about getting tenure, but just getting hired somewhere!

@ArthurLupia advocates a pay system for effective engagement rather than trying to overhaul tenure system #AcadEng

Are you challenged? More uncertain of things at the end then at the beginning? Then it was a good meeting! via @2020science #AcadEng

Terrific final meeting of the minds at #AcadEng http://t.co/L44rBwb7X0

Another great pt by @brossardd: not a question of one or the other; good communicators/engagers must be good scholars too #AcadEng

Critical point by @DavidScobey: the appropriate peer must be chosen to review work that involves public engagement #AcadEng

Even a social scientist serving on a panel with natural scientists may be an important form of engagement --@brossardd #AcadEng

@brossardd challenges us to stop making artificial boundaries as to where scholarship ends and public engagement begins #AcadEng

Institutional barriers are intellectual barriers (e.g, where/how you publish & serve); must be tackled at that level --@DavidScobey #AcadEng

@DavidScobey: single most impt barrier to engagement is the faculty collectively (as chairs, deans, reviewers of dossiers) #AcadEng

Important to find P&T letter writers who can indeed assess a faculty member's engagement as service #AcadEng

In triad of teaching, research, service, why can't "service" include engagement w/media, Congress, communities, etc. #AcadEng

Scholarship can be assessed through peer review but how to have equivalent for public engagement in a tenure case? #AcadEng

@LeahLeopold and @JessicaHellmann @LizNeeley Viewing a panel now on institutional barriers to engagement! #AcadEng http://graham.umich.edu/mm/agenda/

Modest proposal: Teaching, research, service applied at a dept/univ level, but recognizing that indiv faculty need not do all 3 #AcadEng

Good tip via @ArthurLupia: 1st 5 minutes of episode 1 of "Earth: The Operators Manual" especially amazing, compelling #AcadEng

Worth an experiment? Wealthy donors chatting w/ key faculty offline w/an eye toward systemic change? #AcadEng

"A tea partier might love solar cells as much as an environmentalist but for different reasons." #AcadEng

Unity of science: in climate science we're using the same physics that is in heat-seeking missiles & cell phones #AcadEng #scienceoftrust

Correction: Look for "Earth: The OPERATORS Manual" on YouTube and PBS #AcadEng

"Tell the good; include narrative + history; get different voices; do it yourself & w/pros; don't get discouraged; you're a hero!" #AcadEng

Look for "Earth: The Observers Manual" on YouTube and PBS with Richard Alley @penn_state + a host of #scicomm stars #AcadEng

Once again, w/ feeling: scientists need to tell more stories. We do also need to "preach to the choir," as who else will? #AcadEng #scicomm

Alley shows map of 2000 calories/day land use/ag changes from @GlobalEcoGuy et al., 2005 #AcadEng http://t.co/lhNlJwijTq
