Great summary of recent research on public perceptions of preprints, featuring a cool new paper by @fleerackers.bsky.social et al. 📰 Goes beyond our earlier work by also using qualitative methods, revealing very interesting (and worrying) results. Insightful read! www.science.org/content/arti...

Absolutely love this article, not least because my wonderful client Lindsay Ejoh is quoted 😍
And I’m calling it now — 2025 is going to be the YEAR for #scicomm and outreach!

In your New Year’s resolutions for 2025, consider public outreach
If every person in the neuroscience community committed to doing one thing, imagine the cumulative difference it would make.

When news reports about scientific papers make causal claims that are not justified by the original study, the mistake often traces to a university press release.
Here, observational data reveals an association. The press release asserts causality.

Such a brilliant idea!! 🤩 love seeing such healthy lab workplace cultures online!
Every year, we have lab awards 🏆 to celebrate helping behaviours across our team, which are essential in creating a positive workplace culture 🥳
The team then votes, and all nominees are mentioned in our Xmas party (photo below, missing some people)
Here are the 2024 nominees and winners

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.
