1/ This is the start of a #Thread about #scicomm inspired by the great feedback from many of those who attended my #PhD defense! Below, you'll find ideas, examples and resources. To me, the way I communicate is just as important as the science that I do. Here is an example:

So excited to announce that our new paper with @rabernat officially came out today! We provide an additional option for oceanographers studying mesoscale eddies. Welcome to use our dataset! A global Lagrangian eddy dataset based on satellite altimetry

Recent paper from #GSOalum @afonsogneto & @universityofri #URIGSO professor @JaimePalter now featured on @AGU_Eos as an Editor's Highlight #AGUPubs @noaa ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our recent paper now featured on @AGU_Eos as an Editor's Highlight! With @JaimePalter, Paula Fratantoni and Xiaobiao Xu

Our latest paper is out @JGROceans! With @JaimePalter, Xiaobiao Xu and Paula Fratantoni.

Today I celebrate the nomination of @GuajajaraSonia for the newly created Minister of Indigenous Peoples and @MarinaSilva for the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change! Yes Climate Change will be elevated to ministerial status!

The first climate model that estimated how the world might warm in the future was published in 1970. That model, as well as ones published in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, have done a remarkably good job predicting what actually occurred in the years after they were published

Happy to announce my new course Mapping and Data Visualization with #Python. This has been in the making for over a year and excited to be able to share it with the world! The full course is free for self-study and shared under an open license. An overview thread below 👇 1/n

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is far from the ideal candidate, but he is squarely within the bounds of normal—and he is a democrat. Jair Bolsonaro, by instinct, is not

Scientists have developed tattoos that change color in response to glucose, albumin, and pH levels. The new tech could let people with diabetes or kidney disease track and control their health without having to take frequent blood samples. https://t.co/WTuwxRWudm

CELS alum @AZHabtemichael is aiding students of color in the URI community while pursuing a Ph.D. from the @URIGSO! He uses his experiences at URI to help create a more inclusive STEM environment for underrepresented students🧑‍🔬 https://t.co/aUi02u4naE #CELS #InclusiveSTEM

Happy to announce the final release of seaborn 0.12.0, a major update with new features that I'm really excited about. Check out the highlights: https://t.co/RMoE2k7rkH Read the full release notes: https://t.co/KUe1j1okNw pip install seaborn==0.12.0 I hope you find it useful!

📢 Calling all climate experts and journalists 📢 I am so excited to announce the launch of the "Global South Climate Database"! #GSCD https://t.co/noWEKQKnq1 🧵A short thread on: ❓What the database is 🌍 Why we need it 👇 How you can contribute! 1/n

Why do Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish? Because of the rotation of the Earth and the distance between Puerto Rico and Cape Verde:

Biodiversity stripes by @findingnature Brilliant idea yet terrifying reality…

Writing a year after the publication of his @CommsEarth article on rapid warming of the Northwest Atlantic, Afonso Gonçalves Neto @afonsogneto describes how he helped shape marine and fisheries management policies in America and inspire the next generation of students in Brazil.

b) As a first-gen PhD graduate, I used the article and my experience at @URIGSO to mentor students at my alma mater @UFSC in Brazil. Graduating during #COVID19 while the federal administration seizes funds from education and research, these young scientists felt lost and hopeless

a) Our paper has made real impact, being used by @NOAA and the @MaineDMR to drive environmental policy in New England (links for reports in the new article). Furthermore, it ranks in the top 1% of all-time research outputs according to @altmetric

Read my latest comment on the outcomes of my most impactful PhD paper. Published with @SpringerNature in @CommsEarth. Thanks @JaimePalter @ja_langan https://t.co/zS8V6Mr8AV https://t.co/PV0X3EJscf The two most relevant outcomes were:

How to start a presentation? Most people start with all the boring info (e.g., repeating everything your host just said) and unmotivated technical details. 🥱 After a few mins, everyone starts checking their phone! 😱 How to avoid this? Here is a simple template. 🧵
