#medcomms — Public Fediverse posts

New posting! I'm a huge #preprints fan, but in my work in #MedComms I’m slowly realising that many of the advantages of preprints don’t seem to apply in biomedical science.

The posting has a summary of the whole #PRC publishing model that #preprints facilitate, then consideration of how various features of preprints translate into advantages in biological sciences and…aren’t so helpful in biomedical science.

Read the posting, & tell me (please!) if you disagree…(warning:fairly long!)👇

New posting, and one that tackles a common misconception among academic scientists - despite the similarity in the names, #MedComms is NOT a type of #SciComm, but a separate discipline & (I think) a much better career choice😃 👇

New posting! A look back at TIR’s 10th (!) year of operations. There’s tales of traffic, #whistleblowing on #bullying in #academia, #MedComms outreach at the Vienna Biocenter, & much more. As always, a huge thanks to all of YOU out there who’ve been reading/liking/sharing the content – much appreciated! You keep reading, I’ll keep reflecting….

New posting! I was recently part of an EMBL #Careers webinar to discuss #MedComms, & why this might be the best career option for scientists who enjoy the writing/communicating/organising aspects of the job the most 🤩 Extended transcript of the Q&A session below.👇
wp.me/p76cuy-QQ

One last quick reminder that I will be taking part in an #EMBL #career #webinar tomorrow (11:00 CET) to talk about life as a newbie in #MedComms alongside 2 more-experienced guests 🙂 And #scientists who enjoy writing/communicating/organising and are thinking about possible #industry careers, come along! It's going to be fun.

It's #MedComms Day (12 June 2024), celebrating the contributions of #medical #communicators, both #editors & #writers. I'm proud to have been a medical editor since 1991, helping #authors communicate their #research clearly so that many #healthcare #providers & #patients benefit. #BELS #AmEditing

New posting! A riff on permanent positions in #science, and how 6 months in #MedComms has already brought more career stability (= permanent position) than 20+ years in #academia. 👇

New posting! After #LeavingAcademia at the end of April, my "jobseeker" status lasted exactly 2 weeks in the end. As of Friday I have now started a new career direction in #MedComms - some thoughts on that in the posting 👇

I have a #medcomms joke, but it is not compliant for publication.

Quite impressive for a bot. If you are a #medcomms professional, do you anticipate the application of AI in medcomms and plain language summaries in the coming days?

As a #medcomms professional and a regular hiker, I love this resource on communicating scientific uncertainty inclusively and transparently to help build trust through the analogy of navigating trails in a park!

Hello! I am a Pharmaceutical Scientist and currently manage #medcomms for a rare disease biotech. I grew up in West Bengal, India, and moved to the US for grad school in 2015. I did preclinical #cancer #drugdevelopment research before shifting to #SciComm.

I love hiking and 🏜📸— been to all 41 NC State Parks and 13 US NPs, and logged >500 unique species on iNaturalist. I love🧑🏽‍🍳 and experimenting with food. I am currently based in Cary, NC, where I live with my wife and 2 :blobfoxsnuggle: .

Over on the 🐦bird app, tonight we’re hosting the #SciArtChat on TwitterSpaces! A little earlier than usual, 8:30pm EST.

A casual chat about the intersection of art + science with Julia Krolik and Glendon Mellow.
