did you know that #PacificScienceCenter reaches 100,000 students/yr w #SciOutreach? #Seattle #STEM #SciEd
Spread the voice 📣
Join us on Nov 18 for an online webinar on science outreach!
Hear from researchers, journalists, and science communicators about how to share science effectively with diverse audiences.

Happy Friday aquatic microbe fans! Check out and support this cool initiative for #SciCom #SciOutreach #Gamification
No fungi this time, but I have it on good authority that they are open to them for future development 😀. So, let's help them get to to their Second Wave!
It was a joy to share how the different lab at the @spinalcordgroup.bsky.social investigate sensory processing and neural circuits.
This project has grown from a concept into a real educational tool—and seeing people engage with it has been the most rewarding part! #SciOutreach #STEMeducation
5 audience types scientists can speak to on Bluesky:
❶ Fellow researchers
❷ Aspiring students
❸ Policy wonks
❹ Curious outsiders
❺ Science-savvy founders
Pick 1 or 2. The tighter the target, the clearer the message.

Ghost science doesn’t only haunt labs—it will cling to students and scientists alike who left academia when their funding dried up. Every lost scientist is a haunted archive of ideas. #PhDSky #SciOutreach 🧪
Hey BlueSky, I need your help. If you're in STEM & from a lower socioeconomic background, what barriers did you face in HS, college, grad school, or faculty roles? I want your stories—& any lit you know of. Let’s talk about the real cost of doing science. #AcademicSky #SciOutreach
Much like a deep-sea creature waiting in the abyss, I’ve been lurking in the darkness for a week. But unlike a gulper eel, I don’t unhinge my jaw to consume everything in sight—just the best deep-sea facts. Let’s dive back in. 🌊🦑 #marinelife #SciOutreach
Siphonophores – A collective of specialized clones that function as one. The lesson? A movement isn’t just one leader—it’s a coalition of people working together toward a shared goal. 🌊🪼 #DeepSea #SciOutreach
Sure, deep-sea anglerfish look massive in photos, but most could fit in your hand. Doesn’t make them any less awesome. 🌊 #Anglerfish #Marinelife #SciOutreach
Coffinfish (Chaunacidae) always strike me as the world’s most unenthusiastic fish. Pouts. Inflates like a stressed-out balloon. Uses tiny feet to shuffle along the seafloor instead of swimming. Basically the Eeyore of the deep sea. 🦑 🌊 #Oceanography #marinelife #invertebrate #SciOutreach
🎉 Hey! 🌍🔎
If you've escaped the chaos of some platform and are looking for a new home for engaging science outreach, you’re in the right place!
Let’s make science fun, inclusive, and viral (in a good way)! 🚀

First advocacy swag has landed. Thank you for your tremendous #SciOutreach, @awaisaftab.bsky.social!
Dr. Aftab is a psychiatrist with a terrific substack that unpacks debates in psychiatric practice AND he writes it in a way that anyone can understand.

How inspiring!
I appreciate the rationale here. And I always think these decisions are "you do you". I'm thrilled Bsky has created a safe space for communities to interact. I am, however, worried about echo chambers and walling off opportunities for #SciOutreach. How do you think about this? (I know you care).
What terrific #SciOutreach! I love the pay it forward aspect.
You deserve to be proud - you are really great here! And you bring up a great point in your post - some of the most impactful #SciOutreach requires us to step into unfamiliar territory. We should acknowledge that fact and allow ourselves to be proud when we do it!
What a great idea! #SciOutreach
What a terrific #SciOutreach idea!
Worried that your #SciOutreach plans aren't worth telling us about? No such thing! As the wise @analog-ashley.bsky.social says, "Anything helps, everything matters".
Telling us all what you've done (or plan to do) will inspire others. In that way, you're not only doing, you're amplifying too.
WONDERFUL!!!!!! #SciOutreach
That's terrific!
AND ALSO - your science fiction. I've love this Mindscape @seanmcarroll.bsky.social episode where David Goyer (Foundation) meets all these National Academy members who were inspired to enter the field by SciFi. #SciOutreach

That's certainly a challenge I'll keep in mind! I love that it exists. I may have to double dog dare myself someday. Calling all those that might be more inclined to populate this dimension of #SciOutreach
#SciOutreach Thank you!
