Would love to hear some thoughts from fellow journalists on this

In a writing clinic, I gave researchers some advice this afternoon. What do you think of my expansion of the classic man-bites-dog example?

Three columns: 1 - Dog Bites Man: non-story, no news value 2 - Man Bites Dog: story, news value 3 - How I Decided To Bite The Dog: narrative, emotional value

Do you have writing advice or questions about writing? Let me know!

I was asked to give writing advice to scientists. I’d love to hear from you! #followerpower
JOURNALISTS: What advice do you have?
SCIENTISTS: What are your main issues with writing?

Hi, I’m @tomtj.es! For next next few months I’ll work out of this former hospital building, and for the next few days I’ll post some impressions from the Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies (MeST), the DataSpace research group, my work, and Danish life here on the #FRONTIERS feed.

This list of "banned words" has been posted in the institute's kitchen here in Copenhagen as a reminder of the infringements on academic freedom in the US. There are big concerns among scientists, and at the same time they're unsure how to appropriately respond as a European researcher
A long list of words starting with “activism, activist, advocacy, advocates, barrier, barriers, bias…” Headline: “Forbidden words in the US research. How are we to react?”

New perk unlocked! I’ll spend the next four months at the University of Copenhagen, thanks to a @frontiersmedia.bsky.social fellowship. First step: log onto the coveted eduroam network.

Took ten days less this time. Curious to see what lesson in solidarity the colleagues have learned since. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017...
