There’s some strobing and some uneasy footage in this month’s #LaEsoterica. If this isn’t for you I can recommend checking out the entire “Cosmos: A Personal Odyssey” (1980) series for free here (https://archive.org/details/cosmos_1980)

Not a single TV station or network, that I can find on our set, has dedicated time to live broadcasting this historic #Artemis Moon fly. Lots of exciting things happening that would make great TV. How can we encourage science culture if we don't make things like this exciting? #CBC #CBS #CTV #Global

@kristinHenry depends on your definition of #SciArt l do miss posting #SciCom but it's never been the same since #GooglePlus shutdown.

Nou! #Scienceville voor kinderen op #Docville : wat een fijn festivalletje! Toffe workshops, fijne doe- en maakdingen! Best spannend om het podium te delen met Maarten Larmuseau (een échte prof, met supercool stamboomonderzoek!) maar altijd fijn als de goesting voor #wetenschap zo de zaal in spat!
Ik onthoud alvast: ook vikinghelden waren soms vrouwen. Dan komt dat in de wetenschap én bij de brandweer ook wel goed.

🦕 Between 2004 and 2017 I published 675 posts on my science blog Ciência ao Natural (UNICAMP). I had never looked at the whole thing as a body of work — until now.
Using AI tools, I analysed the evolution of themes and writing style across 13 years: 5 distinct phases, from dense palaeontology to poetic chronicles, all the way to urban geology in the Algarve.
The result is an interactive website with a timeline, charts and 8 posts translated into English.

Over the last half year, I created short form videos on #scicom and AI for the german broadcaster SWR. The show now goes into a short break between seasons:

"Durante muito tempo, a História enquanto disciplina científica apresentou uma visão muito limitada sobre aquilo que poderia ser utilizado como fonte de pesquisa. Não à toa, foi só no último século que os acadêmicos deixaram de olhar exclusivamente para fontes de pesquisa histórica consolidadas, como cartas, diários, jornais e legislações, e passaram a se abrir – ainda que a passos lentos – para o estudo do passado e do presente a partir de documentos de outras naturezas, como as histórias em quadrinhos (HQs), que mesclam textos e imagens de forma estilizada."

Bom demais o Dossiê que acabou de publicar a @comciencia sobre Quadrinhos.

A definite highlight of the last two weeks was the popular #SciCom talk, delivered by the organizer of the conference to the staff members of @inhenripoincare. I love this concept where the staff actually gets to learn about the contents of the trimester they help organize. (5/6)

@dan I literally post about my research papers all the time. Not one repost in Trans Girl Mastodon.

Have I failed at #scicom ?

My new print titled "Protease secreting Nannochloropsis limnetica can valorise invasive plants through circular water-use and accumulate neutral lipids" can be accessed at: https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.11.29.691304.

We demonstrate that microalgae can help circularise water-use in the LPC production process. This helps reduce fresh water consumption without affecting the yield or quality of LPC.

🚀 Our #nextGEMS overview paper is out!

After three years of intense collaboration, we’re thrilled to share a comprehensive look at what the nextGEMS project has achieved: a milestone for #ClimateModelling 🌐

For the first time ever, nextGEMS has produced multidecadal #climate simulations with kilometer-scale resolution across the ocean, land, and atmosphere, using the ICON and IFS-FESOM Earth system models. 🌍

🔹 The project unfolded over four development cycles, each releasing new configurations of ICON and IFS-FESOM.
🔹 These were rigorously evaluated at our hackathons, bringing together climate scientists, software engineers, HPC experts, and users from sectors like energy and agriculture.
🔹 By the end of the fourth cycle, we successfully ran 30-year simulations (2020–2049) at an impressive ~500 simulated days per day on the Levante supercomputer at German Climate Computing Center | DKRZ |.
🔹 Simulations reached ~5 km resolution in the ocean and ~10 km on land and in the atmosphere, offering unprecedented detail.

Furthermore, the simulations form a core building block for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin in the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. In other words, nextGEMS' work paves the way for the next generation of European climate research. 🇪🇺

@ewen I feel that there's a great deal of room for improvement in our communication with local public and governmental bodies that aren't directly funding. e.g. US Congress (ok, let's assume a functional govt). The folks who explain the importance of fundamental research without an obvious/immediately marketable product often do so poorly. The folks who lobby for big projects routinely over promise. For example, the human genome project push led statements that it'd quickly result in cures for all sorts of diseases (the time scale being the issue here). Now some of this is a reflection of the media, but a major problem is what scientists said, both to the govt, then to each other.

And it's true that graduate programs have not formally included communication as a formal training goal. Perhaps we can get some PhDs with good training/ability in communication into alternative media outlets and into elected positions to help remedy this.

@ewen I'm frustrated too that the onus is always on us, the scientists, to communicate better. I think scientists tend to communicate well with other scientists, and some scientists communicate well with the public-at-large. I totally agree that the media is a problem, a huge problem that can't be overstated!). (And not only the news media, but the entertainment media that makes scientists more likely to be driven by hubris that'll lead to some big evil that only a guy with a gun can solve. But I digress) However, the media is also not the only audience.

We can also talk directly to our communities! In general scientists don't do a great job interacting directly with their local communities and explaining what they do so people know a scientist and better understand how it works. e.g. that one never knows from where a breakthrough might come, so "knowledge for knowledge's sake" is an actual investment.

Today I was guest on the late breakfast show on national television #ZDF „Volle Kanne“ with my new book. We talked about almost everything: the Big Bang, quantum physics, God, meteorite impacts, black holes, alien life - you name it! It was fun and they threw out some prerecorded clips so that we could have more time to chat 😉. And I had breakfast…

When it comes to Sci Show and Hank Green, a lot of people have Gell-Mann amnesia.

Previously, it was their bad video on HRT and trans people (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/nerdfighters/comments/1d7arcr/scishows_recent_video_on_hormone_replacement/ ).

Now we're doing the "Oops wrong yet again but still, trust me, for some reason!" dance with knitting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx1orbc-7MQ

#SciCom #Youtube

Next is Olga Paris-Romaskevich, who brings to us a "Mathematical utopia in the dystopian times: Streetmath, #Math girls, and MATHEMATIKA." All three projects are amazing examples of mathematical #SciCom projects, executed by Olga, and spreading the fun of #illustratingMath.

I'm about to go sleep. But I'm asking all the the scientists out there...please...give me a word that may inspire me for future #inkyDays drawings.

Just one word. At least to start with. Just one word. You can give context, but only if it unblocks.

We are at a time when we need to connect and communicate. Let's try something new in #SciCom. Right now.

#SciArt #art

Morgen gibts unsere nächste Coffee Lecture: Lena Ackermann von Zum Staunen* berichtet uns über Formatentwicklung in der #Wissenschaftskommunikation mit einem externen Partner.

Kommt vorbei und diskutiert mit uns. Geht auch spontan noch, Zoomlink gibts bei Anmeldung hier: https://events.gwdg.de/e/wisskomm-lecture-25

Please don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying that this is something we shouldn't do. I think it's something we have to do.

But I think the people who do #sciencecommunication need to prepare themselves for a new onslaught of weaponized stupidity.

The link above mentions how science was done more publicly during COVID. I'm sure the editors meant something different, but the entire US scientific community is being destroyed right now because of what happened then.
