Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB
Just so grateful. I love community. 😃

My university offers Communication in Science, but it isn't required for any of those departments. It's so important we try all the angles to change how we communicate about science.
When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees.

My minimum goal is 100,000 signatures for my petition. I will be spamming, yapping, doing everything I can to get to that goal. We need to make it clear where we stand. c.org/xqYKGJhbs2 bsky.app/profile/rave...

"why has trust in experts been eroded?" idk maybe it has something to do with how misinformation has a multi-million dollar marketing budget and an infectious disease researcher has a $0 one.

Went to the allergist. I'm allergic to everything. ALL fruits. ALL veggies. Fucking POTATOES. BREAD. All I can really have is nuts and fish 🫠🫠 Unfortunate but at least I have some answers as to WHY I've been feeling like complete shit the past couple of years 😄

📍RFK Jr. has crossed the Rubicon. The war on science isn’t looming - it’s here. I had hoped that after the darkest days of the pandemic, we could start rebuilding a stronger science world. I was wrong. So, starting today, I’m back. And I want you to join me.
