I used Manim python library and Blender to make a PCR video, please check it out and tell me what you think!

Work in progress cartoon using Blender, Brady Johnston’s molecular nodes and PDB data from rcsb.org (don’t worry, more protons to come).

A few things to consider about biomedical science

How should we do science communication?

Publics have diverse learning styles, so communicators need a plurality of teaching styles.

But, communicating science can be done ‘wrong’ to the extent of pushing anti-science narratives.

What are your thoughts? #science #sciencecommunication #scicomm 🧪

Around the world, it seems, governments have shown a complete lack of urgency towards fixing these shortages.

Neurodivergence is poorly understood, as ableist stigma still surrounds the topic. But, from first hand experience, these delays and shortages are ruining people’s lives.

not taking my ADHD meds for several days reminds me of how inconsistent supply screws with the lives of millions of people and no one in federal government seems to think this is an urgent problem

I love sculpting and modelling assets in blender. This brain took ages! But I’m happy with the way it turned out.

I can’t stop singing this programs praises! It’s a steep learning curve but totally worth it.

Hey everyone!

For a few years I’ve been committed to growing as an accurate, non-sensational content creator and scientific communicator…. Taking the less hyperbolic path is less engaging, so I need a little help from you, if you’re willing, please share and follow ❤️

Miscommunication can lead to multiversal mistakes! Thanks for the clarifying video @blitzphd.bsky.social

Hey everyone, I’m Mitch

I’m a PhD neuroscience student and beginner science communicator and animator.

I would really appreciate support for my TT page from more science and philosophy minded people, which bluesky is full of.

Thank you

I want to animate an accessible biology/biochemistry series for TikTok.

I posted a mock 1st episode on the biochemistry of water vm.tiktok.com/ZGd6U4Vu9/

I would really appreciate feedback from the community #stem #science #scientist #scienceanimation #sciencecommunication #biology

Ooh, @hankgreen.bsky.social effectively articulates the frustration I have with Twitter and Threads downranking anything that would take a user off their site.

Bluesky and Mastodon don’t do that and I’m so happy they don’t.

Look, a link! 😱😉 youtu.be/D4ghgVq9z4M

Scientists and Science communicators, Blender is a powerful tool to animate and model science. With the ability to use real data in animations, you can use it to create accurate and informative models.

And it’s absolutely free. 🧪 #science #sciencecommunication #stem #3Danimation #scienceanimation

Science communication is not easy.

Worse, it’s easy to get very wrong.

@hossenfelder.bsky.social and Dave Farina (Professor Dave Explains) have had an interesting back and forth(ish) about styles of communication and strengthening anti-science narratives.

What are you thoughts on this issue? 🧪

Hello #philsci

You are likely aware of the late philosopher of science, Jerry Fodor, and his ‘infamous’ argument against natural selection being a “selects for” mechanism of trait fixation.

What do you think of the argument given?

You’ve heard of the connectome, a detailed structural map of the brain and its connections. Recently, scientists have modelled the complete fly connectome, and are now using this model to study “the effectome” a causal schema of the brain and its connection. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... 🧪
