In the vein of efforts like Science Homecoming, @jessicaoros.bsky.social and I are inviting scientists from all backgrounds and training levels to write for us about their research, and how they are being affected by the current administration. Please reach out to us if you are interested! 🧪
Recently, we have seen scientists asking what they can do to both communicate the importance of their research and how it’s being affected by recent executive orders. In response, we are proposing a new initiative through our Substack to help scientists communicate directly with the public. #scicomm
