Do you have extra printed zines you'd like to add to the library? DM me!

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

If you're a science writer from a minoritised group, I cannot recommend this scheme enough! I've met the most amazing group writers and had networking opportunities with science communicators. Great for if you're working on a book proposal, blog, article or any other science writing project ✍️

Close up of a book page with the short story title on it. 'Your Utopia'.

Front cover if the same book. Your Utopia by Bora Chung. Light blue cover with white graphic featuring two humans and a screen between them with body parts on. Held by a white hand.

Is it a thing to get excited when you reach the one the book's named after? 💕 I think it's a thing 📚💙

I doubt my spelling of this word every time for the same reason

Perfect! My cats like a little hot water bottle too 😂💕

Fluffy little cheerleaders!

This is amazing! Must have taken you a while too 💕 📌

Use the feed to talk *about* SciComm, not to *do* SciComm. If you have an astronomy or ocean fact to share: neat! But the ppl who want to engage w you are not on the feed. Feed ppl are talking shop

Snow is way more fun when you're not fighting to get places ☃️

Short ones so it's easy to sneak them in whenever you can!

Giant pmdd belly here! Wish we could just deflate and fly away 🎈

Also here for the gargoyles appreciation club!

Hundred times more traumatising than a photo of an overflowing cup of water. I'm in.

Yesss every book should have this

Is this why you can't sleep though!

Yes it's refreshing! Cuts through all the oily cheesiness so it ends up perfect 💕

Science communicators and scientists will be put under constant pressure to temper their findings to please the positions of power. We cannot bow to that pressure. And we certainly shouldn't comply in advance. Laura at SciAm has been one of our last bulwarks. 🧪

One more for the party please! There's so many of us 🎉💕 Started off as a neuro busker with my brain-controlled cat ears

Escapism in books means something different for everyone. When I hear someone say they only read to escape and 'turn their brain off,' but their shelves are full of stories that are very white and very straight, it makes me wonder—what are they escaping from? And where are they escaping to? 1/2
