#citscihelvetia is over, another great chance to learn, share and meet practitioners and researchers from Switzerland 🇨🇭 and all over the world 🌎
I had the chance to present our project on #flood risk communication and get interesting insights on how to implement #citsci in sociological research!

#citscihelvetia25 has began at Université de Lausanne ✨

Meeting with colleagues in Bologna to discuss content analysis of the #publicconsultation recordings.
What’s your go-to tool for text content analysis?

Btw #Bologna is always beautiful, but already very hot!

Language is a barrier for non-native speakers accessing English #scicomm content and resources. But it's also a limitation for native English speakers who miss out on important work published in other languages.

Reading the interesting essay " #scicomm, politics and power: social justice perspectives" by Emily Dawson and @simonjlock.bsky.social

I'm wondering — does anyone have updated survey data on what languages scientists speak in different countries?

On April 5 we brought together ~80 Italian #citizens for a #publicconsultation on #climatechange & #floodrisk — step 2 of SCARER project:
1️⃣ National Survey
2️⃣ Consultation
3️⃣ Co-creation workshops
Now diving into 36+ hrs of recordings: non-researcher voices are reshaping how I think about #risk.

It's a wrap! Leaving the @pcstnetwork.bsky.social conference 2025 🛫 I met many people whose work I already admired and got to meet so many amazing #scicomm practitioners and researchers. I hope I'll make it for the next one! #Scotland #conference
(The most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen)

Interesting session on #scicomm in Universities

Marta Entradas, Martin Bauer, Giuseppe Pellegrini, John Besley and Frank Marcinkowski

" #scicomm in the face of attacks: Discussing harassment of scholars and practitioners and potential support measures."
Fabien Medvecky, @nielsmede.bsky.social , @jlegelhofer.bsky.social , Bernard Okebe, Alice Fleerackers and Tom Carruthers

Happy to be at PCST conference 2025 @pcstnetwork.bsky.social in Aberdeen! #scicomm

I've been working with Francesca di Rosa, immunologist at CNR and the Francis Crick Institute, on "Vaccination a Time"—originally a stand-exhibit for the Royal Society Summer Science Week 2024, now expanding into a podcast and more events. Soon updates!

My first post on #Bluesky, moving from #X, was about Dr. Strangelove's final speech reminding me of #Musk... I wasn't wrong after all... The gesture, just like in the movie, was neither intentional nor unintentional, it was just a Freudian slip!

First post after switching from X. I was watching Dr. Strangelove for the first time. In his final dialogue with the president, he reminded me of someone...

Rainy sunday, perfect time to set up my equipment for #editing and recording the next "On time" #podcast episode, part of the "Vaccination, a time machine" project🔬🎤

As mush as I love audio as a #scicomm medium, I wish editing was quicker... Anyone planning to implement the next AI tool?😅

There is no perfect social media, each platform builds on the strengths and weaknesses of the other. Let's make the best of what we have! Here's a "🐦 X 🦋" I generated to represent this.

I agree, and also sociological research like the one of Observatories of science & society topics! For example, check out Observa, science in society. It's an Italian research group I collaborate with:) (their not on bluesky yet)

Now that I see, I already knew this work by @nielsmede.bsky.social, great contribution! Thanks again:)

Thanks a lot of the tip, I'll check it out:)

Check out this interactive graph about how different scientists are perceived by people with different political orientation in the US!
Mathematicians are perceived as trustworthy from both sides... clearly most people never had the chance to talk with a mathematician after a beer or two😉
#scicomm

Very interesting! Any suggestions for similar data world wide or in non-US countries?

Interesting data about the public perception of researchers' communication skills: fewer than half of us citizens (45%) view research scientists as good communicators.

I'd be curious to know how are researchers' #scicomm skills perceived in Europe and around the world... Any suggestion?

#survey

Hi there! I am a researcher on science and risk communication at the University of Ferrara, working on various #scicomm projects! I just joined bluesky but I'd love to be part of this starter pack. My plan is to share (hopefully) useful data for sciommers around the world! Best from Italy:)

The #SciComm starter pack is almost full. Make sure to revisit it as l’ve added lots of folk this week.

Do share it and flag up if you’d like added.
