this was a comment from @Tullio_Rossi at #ASC2017

use accessible language… OH “we don’t have larval human beings… but we do have babies. so baby fish worked better” #ASC2017

make your #scicomm more resilient, start with “Australian manual of scientific style” https://www.sciencestyle.com.au/ by @Biotext_Science #ASC2017

OH… “i’m going to talk in acronyms… because… i live in Canberra and that’s what we do…” #asc2017

.@ShereeCairney works directly with aboriginal communities to explain health issues with #scicomm and neuroscience. #ASC2017

this was a fascinating combination of data, testimony and representation by @ShereeCairney at #ASC2017

how designers balance valuable data, client requests & cultural comms standards comprises much of value of the profession. #scicomm #ASC2017

bring in designers ASAP sez @jo_bailey… "you'll save money…retroactively applying design process will cost ideas & budget" #ASC2017 #scicomm

bring designers in as soon as you initiate a #scicomm project. this will bring integrity to solution & usually supplies higher… ROI #ASC2017

.@jo_bailey answers a question from the floor on defining human centred design & its value in #scicomm at #ASC2017

not simple rule, tho choose a graph's form based on data at hand & whether datasets require comparison. tho never use pie charts! #ASC2017

as proxy between data & audience, designers have ability to act on behalf of the audience before their engagement sez @jo_bailey #ASC2017

.@jo_bailey takes the stage to talk multi stakeholder access to data in #scicomm at #ASC2017

day two of #ASC2017 opens. @LaLaLausy presiding.

stay tuned for @cocamassey's @jo_bailey on #scicomm & design

paraphrased OH: "we used to explain how science works. it's unfortunate that we now have to explain what science is." #ASC2017

.@FabienMedvecky points out that the celebrities supported hillary… “if you are against celebrities in science, you're post fact…” #ASC2017

that fine word play was from @Constababble at the #ASC2017 #greatdebate https://x.com/tristamsparks/status/834673094941741056

the case for celebrities in #scicomm…

“…let's turn beyon-say to beyon-sci”

#asc2017

on your way @CraigCormick… what about scientists who *are* celebrities? #asc2017

the #ASC2017 debate starts now. the topic: should celebrities promote scientific propositions?

sound off on the hashtag.

conversations on interdisciplinarity comes from the existent & emergent diversity… the increasingly overlapping fabric of society. #asc2017

hear hear: “…focus on third order thinking – in other words: chaos.” sez @JenniMet. (ie) relinquish your domain focussed thinking

#ASC2017

does a conversation that places humanities & science in oppositional silos miss the point? #scicomm is about …engagement …outreach #ASC2017

OH: "why does everyone care about fossils?!… [human beings] are a conceited bunch…" #ASC2017

OH from floor: “the world is run by people who think that the world works on [man] made laws (or observations)…”
