Wish there was something like a #platform that #scientists had, where they came together to make a group. Lets call it a #society if you will, and that #society did great scicomm to taxpayers and non-scientists.
Know any such organization?

The longer we keep using societies as clique groups and clubs for career advancement and lobby groups, the deeper we are going to sink into the abyss
Another society meeting, another massive, missed opportunity for public engagement.
The #science is A+, but the outreach imagination is F. We can't keep walling ourselves off from the public at these #conferences held in big cities and then complain that folks don't support funding for scientists
