ScienceShit® — Wear the Truth.

Science is messy. ScienceShit is streetwear for thinkers, skeptics, and builders who know real science comes with chaos, sarcasm, and honesty.

This year, LabX showed up.

We launched programs, experimented boldly, told science stories in new ways—and proved that curiosity still cuts through the noise.

👉 Watch the recap. Then stick around—what’s coming next is bigger.

Even NASA has budget days like this 😅🚀
But curiosity, science and exploration don’t pause.
The universe is still waiting.

Reshaping recognition: evolving how we celebrate excellence A multi-year journey to transform our prizes

We are proud to share a fresh perspective on how to celebrate excellence in chemistry: recognition that is inclusive, forward-looking & capable of inspiring progress across science. Read our new report: rsc.li/reshaping-recognition

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Give it time

⏳ Give it time – culture change is a long journey, requiring patience, iteration and resilience.

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Celebrate diversity.

🌈 Celebrate diversity – ensure structures, processes and culture work together to reflect excellence in all its forms.

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Align everything to purpose

🔗 Align to purpose – criteria, processes and celebrations should all reinforce intent.

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Be clear on the " why ".

❓ Be clear on the “why” – is recognition about inspiring others, validating careers or raising visibility? Clarity of purpose sharpens every decision.

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Establish who the target audience is

Our Reshaping Recognition report distils what we have learned along the way.

Here are our five key learnings from this transformation:

👥 Establish your audience – involve the people recognition is meant to celebrate from the outset.

#ReshapingRecognition #ScienceCulture #RSCPrizes #ChemSky

Wider visibility and reach. Read the report.

Behind each figure is a deliberate change to make our prizes more reflective of chemistry at its best. Explore more in Reshaping Recognition: buff.ly/vcxBBHE

‘You know it when you see it’: experts size up scientists’ attempt to define cool #Science #Culture #scienceculture #coolness #expertopinion

🔥 Hot take: Confirmation bias is a silent killer of great science.

😎 Cooler take: Teaching early-career researchers how to recognize it should be baseline.

What's one strategy you use to check your bias when interpreting results?

Maybe it’s time we make space not the exception, but the foundation.

Not less science — just smarter, more human science.

Old science comms:
- Over-explaining
- Leading with credentials
- Prioritising accuracy over clarity

New science comms:
- Conversational tone
- Leading with relevance
- Clarity and credibility

Don’t lose the message chasing perfection.

Ways to shift this dynamic in ocean work:

— Public, well-curated data repositories
— Co-authorship norms that honor contributions across orgs
— Funders that reward collaboration, not competition
— Mentorship models built on abundance, not scarcity

Science’s ‘Gollum effect’: PhDs bear brunt of territorial behaviour Survey respondents at all career stages report colleagues engaging in territorial and possessive behaviours — but early-career researchers are most often affected.

This might shock no one in ocean conservation, but it turns out science has a possessiveness problem.
The “Gollum Effect”—territorial hoarding of data, ideas, even field sites—is real.
And it’s driving people out of science.
Let’s talk. 🧵

I'll be joining the Royal Society of Chemistry on March 13th as part of their "Taboos and tricky topics" #scienceculture series. We'll be tackling the question of #management capability and #leadership in academia. The session is free to attend on YouTube and LinkedIn! www.rsc.org/policy-evide...
