There have been some big changes happening behind the scenes here at neuroeditor!

[Neurocrew @Neurocrew]

Weighing the costs & benefits of attending a coding bootcamp versus obtaining a 4-year degree? Cost goes beyond just your tuition dollars.

Is a coding bootcamp really worth your time & money? We recently teamed up w/ @ConductScience to take a deep dive into the latest datasets from the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting. Part 1: https://t.co/I9QcwGFdRK

When it comes to science outreach, setting matters. Find the spots in your community where people already gather. Share your science there.

*Exactly* Not only does this language create a false distinction between scientists and others, it's a lazy way of defining the audience of your #scicomm piece.

Get to know the humans you're communicating that science to - one flawed human being to another.

PSA to scientists & science communicators: WE ARE PART OF “THE PUBLIC”

Maybe you mean “engage fellow taxpayers” or “speak without technical language” or “non-technical audience” or just “folks beyond our community”.

[Kathryn Vaillancourt is writing all the things @MoleculeMind]

Excited to share my first piece for @Neurocrew where I take a dive down memory lane and talk about the very first episode of the On Your Mind #Podcast!

In today's post, @MoleculeMind discusses how she leveraged the power of podcasts to create academic community beyond the journal club

Full time scicommers! What's your biggest research scientist habit pet peeve?

Pick one of these anonymously or reply to add yours/elaborate!

(Again, #NotAllScientists)

Research scientists! What's your biggest scicommer pet peeve!

Pick one of these anonymously or reply with yours/elaborate!
(These aren't necessarily the case obv. I am a fulltime scicommer. Go ahead and roast us... Gently though 😂 #NotAllScicommers)

[Maria Montchal @MariaMontchal]

My first @Neurocrew post is up! I talk about connecting with your audience and what I've learned about #scicomm by writing for the @LohDown on Science 👩‍🔬🧫✨.

In today's post @MariaMontchal discusses how to share your science without losing your audience. 👉 https://t.co/vvGcvNZiGR

[Neurocrew @Neurocrew]

BEWARE OF:

🚩 Oversimplification
🚩 Abuse of the prefix "neuro"
🚩 Overblown claims and promises
🚩 A lack of research backing up the claims
🚩 Clickbait headlines

[Neurocrew @Neurocrew]

Wondering if that article is neuroscience or neurorubbish? Here are 5 red flags to look out for while wading through the most recent neuro-based headlines 👉 https://t.co/iQ5KiNaMEq, courtesy of @AmeliaMDouglass

"Science requires us to have the courage to let our beautiful theories die public deaths at the hands of ugly facts."

I couldn't agree more.

[Neurocrew @Neurocrew]

And *this* ladies and gentlemen is science communication at its best. 👏👏 Really clear job distilling the science into plain English. Also: great use of media. Also: this entire thread doubles as a reminder that the brain is just 🤩

[Carsen Stringer @[email protected] @computingnature]

Story time! Single neurons in the brain can’t be depended on for reliable information. Here are some neurons from our recent study, recorded twice in response to the same visual stimuli. Different neurons are active at different times!
