A/Prof Jen Martin #scicomm

I love Northern Australia, and it breaks my heart what's happening and is planned for this region. More people need to know why this place is so special and what's at risk, so I wrote about it. My first article for @australiainstitute.org.au's The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Our son, Rohan, is doing something extraordinary for his 18th birthday, & @scidocmartin.bsky.social & I are so proud.

He's partnered with Headspace to run 100km, raising money for this wonderful organisation!

If you can share or donate, we'd be very grateful!

That is impressive. A true long-time listener 🙌

As I said, it was years ago! I’m not sure how long you’ve been listening for 🤣

Yes absolutely - I know a few family members who would have been left-handed if allowed 😞.

This a the third time I’ve done a story on research into left-handers, but the other two were years ago. Sorry you’ve been waiting so long for another!

Thanks and yes I totally agree. We are always our own worst critics and judges! Thank you for listening and sorry to be so slow in responding. I haven’t done a good job of fitting BlueSky into my life!

@scidocmartin.bsky.social & I would like to share our son's efforts to help others. He's documenting his training towards a 100km run fundraiser for Headspace Box Hill on his 18th birthday in Feb 2026. www.instagram.com/rohanbeyondt... On the same page he is also offering a running coaching service.

Indeed!

I couldn’t agree more!!!!

Agreed! It’s a way of demonstrating that this matters to you and you’ve put in effort!

I’m sorry I totally missed this. And thank you so much for inviting me 🙏🙏

Dropping in to post a fangirl update about the fab @scidocmartin.bsky.social who recently presented for #DeakinRDA about 'Telling the story of your research'.

An excellent intro to research comms + the crucial deliberations that are involved. So much wisdom, never enough time. Thanks, Jen. 🤩

It’s a great day for it! With my favourite human, @scidocmartin.bsky.social.

If you want a brighter, kinder, safer future based on evidence and the advice of experts vote Greens, Teals and sensible Independents. 🗳️ #AusVotes25

Thanks so much and sorry for my VERY slow response. I’m struggling to find time for BlueSky as much as it seems a great place to get to know a bit better! It was great to have you at the session.

Happens all the time! I’ve recently needed a big block of sick leave and lots of people asked me the same thing!

Oh that’s so incredibly kind! I would never say no to a handmade beanie, but full disclosure - I haven’t lost my hair during treatment so I would hate to ask for a beanie under false pretences!!!

Thank you!

Support my 5394 squat challenge for breast cancer – it starts TODAY! I am taking on the 58 Squat Challenge this month to raise vital funds for breast cancer research. Please support me!

Ok everyone, to support my amazing wife @scidocmartin.bsky.social, and all affected by breast cancer, I'm going to do 174 squats each day for every day of March.

If you can donate or share my page that'd be awesome, thanks! fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/...

So lovely to read all your tips Francine and a very happy new year to you!

It was Hemingway that people credit with the quote ‘Write drunk, edit sober’ although he almost certainly never said it!

Recording Let’s Talk Scicomm with Michael has been one of my most rewarding and fulfilling projects over the last three years.

For our 100th episode we had a lot of fun asking each other all the rapid fire questions we’ve asked our guests over the past 13 seasons.

We hope you’ll enjoy our chat 💙

Hi Bluesky, I’m Nicole, Manager of the Australian branch of the Biodiversity Heritage Library @bhl-au.bsky.social, the world’s largest online repository of biodiversity literature. I work with museums, herbaria & libraries to make their collections openly accessible, discoverable & connected. 1/3

The text on this image says New Episode Out Now: Our Scicomm Highs and Lows. In the centre of the image is a photo of 5 people with a glass window and wind chime behind them. From left to right are a tall man (Michael) with dark brown short hair and wearing a pale blue shirt. Next to him is Linden - a woman with long straight brown hair, wearing a bright orange jumper. Next to Linden is Jen with shoulder length pale brown hair and wearing a blue denim jacket and black pants. To the right of Jen is a woman, Catriona, wearing a dark blue and white patterned dress and glasses. Her long dark hair is tied back. On the far right is Graham, a tall man with gray hair is wearing a brick red jumper and blue jeans. Everyone is smiling and Jen is holding a white picture frame with a cartoon of 5 penguins. If you look closely, the cartoon penguins each have distinguishing features to suggest that each one of the penguins represents one of the people in the photo and the five people are standing in the same order as their caricature penguin. This cartoon was a gift to Jen for her 50th birthday from the rest of the teaching team and the photo was taken at her 50th birthday party. The rest of the image is light blue, pink, dark blue and yellow geometric shapes. At the bottom left is the Let’s Talk SciComm logo.

🎧 If you haven't listened to our latest episode, what are you waiting for?

With a combined nearly 100 years of experience communicating about science with different audiences, we had a lot of fun sharing our
#scicomm high and low experience.

🔥 We'd love you to listen and share

When you're done with that episode, have a scroll through the other 98 eps @scidocmartin.bsky.social and Michael have put together. The show is an incredible resource for those wanting to communicate clearly and effectively ♥️💙

Thanks so much Kathy!
