As a science communicator, your job is to explain complex science in a language that the audience can understand, says @DiannaKBautist1
For instance by using relatable scenarios or visualising the science via analogues.

Curious about modeling and how it can help further biodiversity research? Join Professor Kim Sneppen, in IceLab Oct 17 for a seminar. Kim specializes in complex systems and biophysics, covering everything from microbiology to population dynamics. https://t.co/pFrp4uUXj5
What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?
And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in physics used tools from physics to construct methods that helped lay the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning.
John Hopfield created a structure that can store and reconstruct information. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can independently discover properties in data and which has become important for the large artificial neural networks now in use.
Although computers cannot think, machines can now mimic functions such as memory and learning. This year’s physics laureates have helped make this possible. Using fundamental concepts and methods from physics, they have developed technologies that use structures in networks to process information.
Improv is fun.
Improv helps you loosen up and think on your feet.
Improv helps you practice 'Yes and...'
Yes and is a great starting point for engaging in collaboration in research.
Improv is good for your research. Give it a try!
This is a reminder that our monthly Improv Club is just around the corner! 🥳
Join us this Wednesday at 18:00 at Lindellhallen - up at the Café Lindell! 🤸No need to worry about registration. Simply drop in and join us for an unforgettable experience.
