Then we will continue with free ice cream at Murphy’s!
When: September 11, 6:00–6:30 PM

FREE workshop on Wednesday to help you craft it! Join us for this important effort to increase connection between your communities and your science!
📣 Federally funded scientists!
Now more than ever before, it is critical that we bridge the gap btw scientists & the community to rebuild trust & address misinformation. Join the national #McClintockLetters movement to #DefendResearch, improve #SciComm, & share your scientific story! ⤵️

Are you just as pissed off, disappointed, and worried for the future of science as I am after the recent NSF news? Well then let’s do something about it.
Yes! And as researchers, we can have direct communication with the broader public to clarify how the research ecosystem works.
The #McClintockLetters is one way to contribute to that!
Scientists are writing pieces for their hometown papers, published ~June 16th, to help build this awareness.

Fantastic opportunity to get engaged! Effective science communication supports effective science policy!
Federal research cuts impact local economies, and stall progress.
Publish an opinion piece in your hometown paper on June 16th to SPREAD THE WORD about how scientific research contributes to the everyday health and wealth of the general public.

What an amazing day discussing my field with legislators at the state capitol! I focused my presentation on how and why the thermal performance of vectors and pathogens should inform interventions and control strategies against mosquito-borne diseases across Indiana 🦟
