Though the editor's summary really didn't have to do them like that
Screenshot of the first sentence of the "Editor's Summary" section of the paper, which reads: "Somewhat lacking in good looks, the naked mole rat gets attention because it is very long lived and highly resistant to cancer."

Incredibly excited to share Stories of Ethics, Engagement, and Dialogue in Science (SEEDS), a new ComSciCon initiative to showcase basic scientists who engage with publics on the ethics of their research! 🌱

The flyer has images of a cartoon stem with two leaves, the logo for ComSciCon (a cartoon of an open book with scientific symbols floating over it), and a QR code to the link in the post. Flyer text reads "Stories of Ethics, Engagement, and Dialogue in Science (SEEDS). ComSciCon is seeking stories and case study writer for Stories of Ethics, Engagement, and Dialogue in Science (SEEDS), a new Kavli Foundation-funded project that will showcase how basic scientists engage with publics on the ethics of their research. Interested in writing a case study? Know a researcher of project we should write about? Learn more here!" Next to the word "here" is an arrow pointing to the QR code.
