I study public opinion about science/scientists' opinions about pub. for strategic #scicomm/#riskcomm, & #trust. Tweets own. MSU Brandt #PR Prof. He/Him🇨🇦🇺🇸

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

Today marks the official release of 'Strategic #SciComm.' We hope it'll be useful. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

And the work is just beginning. There's so much more interesting thinking, research, and real-world testing to do.

I spent my spring teaching inclusive & strategic science communication to scientists across the country. It was a BLAST. If your organization, university, or conference is looking for scicomm-focused speakers, lmk. I'm booking my fall schedule now!

@Gallup Could you remake table with some indicator of the actual tax rate when the survey was fielded. To what degree do these perceptions match reality?

Now published in @PLOSClimate: Our review of the current evidence on public #trust in #climate science 📚
Many thanks to my great co-authors @jekotcher, @JohnBesley, @MaibachEd, and @NaomiOreskes — and especially to lead author @colognav!

[SACNAS @SACNAS]

#SACNAS is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for our fourth annual Postdoc Leadership Institute (PLI). PLI is a workshop for postdocs looking to develop their leadership competencies and build community. Apply by July 26th! https://t.co/mwCoY14v2X

[PLOS Climate @PLOSClimate]

In a new Review article published in PLOS Climate, @colognav and colleagues explore the evidence for public trust in climate science and scientists

New #Strategic #SciComm paper. Key idea is that we can think about/study 'listening to improve' as a behavior.

Ecologists Prioritize Listening to Community Perspectives When They See the Benefit: Norms and Self-Efficacy Beliefs ... Have Little Impact https://t.co/mqxzb7UbdG

@SpelaGodec @craigslattery @midlandsscience Surprise cameo from @JohnBesley, or should I Strategic 😁

Great paper.

Highly recommend John & Anthony’s book on Strategic Science Communication

Hey y'all! I am excited to announce that I am offering workshops for scientists interested in improving their communication skills. These workshops are developed in collaboration with #scicomm researchers and experts to ensure they are evidence-based and practical.

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

New paper: Faculty bios are low-hanging fruit for #scientists who want to help build #trust by sharing their pro-social motives. Let's update those bios!

@istudytrust Yeah. I like that … thanks!

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

Still eager to hear from colleagues headed to #AAASmtgs in Denver who have stories to tell about how their organization is trying to be strategic when it comes to #scicomm/#publicengagement.

I'd like to interview you for a research project (compensated). DM or email me, please!

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

Are you headed to the Denver #AAASmtg and have a story to tell about how your organization has managed to be #strategic when it comes #scicomm / #engagement? Would love to interview you for research project. DM or email me, please!

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

Really happy to be involved with this; @colognav and @nielsmede deserve a great deal of recognition for their leadership in making this massive project happen.

[Niels G. Mede @nielsmede]

How do people perceive #science and its role in society? Do they #trust scientists? 🧑🏾‍🔬
We did a global 67-country survey (n=71,417) to test this, working with 239 researchers from all continents – the #TISP #ManyLabs study. It’s now available as #preprint: https://t.co/qFNmD9IeY4

We lost a towering figure and a generous soul with Jack McLeod’s passing. What an amazing and impactful career - a model of scholarly life for so many, and a mentor and inspiration to countless more. He will be missed, though his legacy is assured in the field and at the UW. 💜

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

@jackcschultz Yep. I have no problem with the activity, it’s the framing I worry about as I see too many scientists who think that #scicomm is JUST about explaining research clearly.

[John Besley @JohnBesley]

I continue to not love the 'translation' metaphor for #scicomm. I do not believe, in this regard, that people would agree with me and support me if they JUST understood my research.
