It& #39;s happening https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ„³" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face"> @AlexGelle is leading the "Communicating science, it& #39;s more than writing a paper" #SciComm workshop.

Alex is a @mcgillu PhD candidate in chemistry and a science communicator, involved in initiatives such as @pintofscienceCA, @ComSciConQC & @ComSciConCAN!
How does the public benefit from science communication?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Discover how science is done (it is hard & slow, full of failures & dead-ends)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Ignite curiosity, learn new things
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Stimulate critical thinking, challenge perspectives, encourage evidence-based decision-making
How do scientists benefit?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> See the bigger picture
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Make your voice heard, build trust in science
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Often, #SciComm leads to media coverage, increasing paper citations and funding opportunities
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ“" title="Runde ReiƟzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Runde ReiƟzwecke"> Develop critical skills e.g. public speaking, leadership, project management
Alex says that scientists don& #39;t need to wait until their next paper to share science. She cites two recent pieces (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="ā¤µļø" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit KrĆ¼mmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit KrĆ¼mmung nach unten">), making the case that scientists need to do a better job of communicating.

"If you don& #39;t see yourself, we need you," says @AlexGelle, highlighting the importance of representation in #SciComm.

She cites examples: @mcmsharksxx & @AnaMaPorras& #39;s recent paper ( https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2020.00031/full)">https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/... & @HajerNakua, a bilingual science communicator (English, Arabic).
Alex is sharing different ways for scientists to get involved science communication, including the Three Minute Thesis competition, the Dance Your PhD contest (w/ a shout-out to past winner @PramodhYapa!) & @NSERC_CRSNG& #39;s Science, Action! contest (past winner @rebecca_yardley).

There& #39;s no end to the different #SciComm avenues to pursue! Alex points out that there is podcasting (e.g. @ScienceSucksPod!) various formats centred around storytelling (e.g. @scislamCA) & #SciArt, such as @AmandaOVeri& #39;s petri dish art & @Thepurplelilac& #39;s science crocheting.
It& #39;s time for #scipol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ™ŒšŸ½" title="Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)"> Alex shouts out various groups in Canada (including @DSP_SPE, @TOSciPolicyNet, @CofactorBC, @E4Dca, @ChiefSciCan& #39;s Youth Council), and recommends to check out each group to learn more about how to get involved or to stay in the loop.
