UW-Madison’s @uw_lsc is proud to sponsor #AEJMC22. As a leader in #scicomm research, education, and practice, they offer a number of MS and PhD programs ( https://t.co/GYsFVPx6fz). Also, please connect with the school's students & faculty at the conference.

Another episode of Propelling Women In Power #podcast is out now! @brossardd, professor & chair @UW_LSC, shares her insights in #scicomm and how we can better understand each other to build a more diverse community of scientists. Listen here:

New forms of creative, non-human intelligence are exciting and promise to bring great benefits, most of which still have to be imagined. But this prospect also stirs up worries https://t.co/oqFUq4fDuy

"Direct public engagement is the best way to help people understand that even the most canonized scientific facts once were subject to debate." Excellent essay by @couldthishappen

Any structural change that impacts public engagement will need to be accompanied by considerable efforts to make resources widely available and known to scientists, such as ensuring that scientists perceive the support from high-level administrators for engaging with publics. 2/2

Despite the weak impacts of institutional factors across universities, we found an indirect effect of tenure guidelines. Senior scientists at univ emphasizing more engagement in tenure guidelines see larger effects of #scicomm training on public scholarship participation. 1/2

We also combined w/ public available data to explore institutional level factors, e.g., mention of #engagement and #outreach in #tenure guidelines, the proportion of #university budget from state government, relative size of #extension faculty, and #media market size. A thread:

"[S]cientists’ perceptions of the university climate on support for engagement, including support from high-level administrators and for graduate students, [predict] participation in public scholarship." New @SciPublic article, lead-authored by @luyebao

How to use #YouTube for #scicomm? What makes some online science videos more popular than others? ✨New Pub w/ @brossardd, @scheufele & @MikeXenos 👇#OpenAccess:

"#COVID19 has raised awareness about many pressing problems within the field of #scicomm ... But one challenge sticks out: our regular and unapologetic return to deficit thinking that we know is not good for us." My thoughts on @SciPublic's 30th birthday.

Have you missed the last 11-weeks of our Science Communication Colloquium? If so, follow the link to watch recorded talks on #misinformation, the brand of science, #viscomm, #environmentalcommunication, and much more! #scicomm #uwlsc700 @UWMadisonCALS https://t.co/12kuMES2pZ

.@lizjosullivan explains two main misconceptions on #ResponsibleAI: 1.) We’ve reached consensus on how to debias existing enterprise AI, and 2.) regulation is the only solution to algorithmic discrimination we need for safe, #AccountableAI.

@CT_Bergstrom @jevinwest @scheufele @zeynep @M_B_Petersen @jbakcoleman It will be fascinating to watch (and crucial for the field) to see how this trade-off is navigated. I will try to write a bit more about misinformation and evolution later, but do read the piece and let me know what you think: https://t.co/qIlkDRevqj

LSC Science Communication Colloquium: "The science Communication Lab: An Experiment in Science Education and Filmmaking" March 9th, 12:05 pm (CST) 1125 SoHe Sarah Goodwin, Executive Director at @scicommlab #uwLSC700 All are welcome! @uw_sjmc @UWMadisonCALS @uwcommarts

Scientists have yet to adapt to new algorithmic information environments, and things will get worse unless we fundamentally change our approach to #scicomm. Some thoughts (with @UW_LSC chair @brossardd) in @ScienceMagazine: https://t.co/h9UgIagyNV. CliffsNotes thread below ...

Our Science Communication Colloquium will feature renowned speakers talking about #misinformation, #polarization of science, digital #storytelling, and visual #scicomm among many other #scicomm topics. @UWMadisonCALS See our speaker schedule below 👇 https://t.co/12kuMES2pZ

Scientists should inform policy but they should not determine policy, this is the job of policymakers. We need to optimize policy choices with the best available evidence and without being partisans, argues @scheufele #uwlsc700 #scicomm
