The last two days, we spent in full #SciComm networking mode at #BMFTR (German Ministry of Research, Technology & Space), representing our #TiCS (Trust in Citizen Science) project. Going through tight security checks every morning, makes your research feel ever more more important… 🚀

Research is not always easy to read and interpret. And it takes particular vigilance to take ambiguity into account, as shown in this new study.

A cartoon by the brilliant Tom Gauld.
The first panel introduces us to Science Cat, a black feline, wearing a white lab coat and carrying a clipboard and pen.
The next panels show a succession of events in close-up: a mug perched near the edge of a table as the end of the pen approaches; that same mug captured in mid-air as it heads downwards towards the floor; a big smash when it meets its destination.
We then see Science Cat writing on the clipboard, and musing as follows: "Once again, the experiment confirmed my hypothesis, but further research in this area is required."
In the final panel, Science Cat heads off, pen in the top-pocket of the lab coat, thinking "I love science!".

All cats are scientists, I will not be taking questions at this time.

By the way, this is a pre-registered qualitative study, which reviewers praised as great example of Open Science in qualitative work. So have a look and reach out for questions on our experiences with this 😊

Are you are researcher, and are you using Generative AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, ...) to help with #scicomm? 🤖🧑‍🔬 Or are you training scientists in science communication?

Ok, time for a short thread about this paper.

My sense over the past six months or so is that chain-of-thought prompting as used in e.g. ChatGPT o.3 improves substantially upon previous systems such as ChatGPT 4.o, at least for certain tasks.

But how revolutionary is it?

Wie funktioniert gute Wissenschaftskommunikation – und wie wirkt sie? 🤔
Antworten darauf will das neu beschlossene Leibniz-Forschungsnetzwerk „Evidenzbasierte Wissenschaftskommunikation“ liefern. Ziel ist es, Theorie und Praxis besser zu verzahnen und so die Qualität von WissKomm zu steigern.

Seems even worse after our panel on GenAI in science communication at #PCST2025 today. The problem is humans and how they use tech, not tech itself.
