#SciComm is counter-intuitive. What "feels natural" in discussion isn't always effective or persuasive. Be aware of own confirmation bias.

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

#ScienceCommunication is more than immediate gratification, of trying to "win" debates. #SciComm is strategic, evidence-based approaches.

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

In #SciComm, punch up, don't punch down. Focus outrage at those who take advantage of the public. Don't blame victims of misinformation.

@IngredientsbyL Dealing with trolls and critics.... here are my tips https://t.co/rqkkSRWCTX

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

@IngredientsbyL When people bring up financial conflicts of interest, I ask what makes their sources different. I share their concern for possible conflicts

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

@IngredientsbyL The shill card is an excellent opportunity to discuss credibility, criteria for evidence, and overall research skills.

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

@IngredientsbyL Try to figure out which research both of you can accept as likely not being shills. Usually, there will be at least some overlap.

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

@IngredientsbyL Find out why they distrust, offer ways to turn cynicism into skepticism. Encourage people to look deeper into the research.

[Nodes of Science @NodesOfScience]

@IngredientsbyL Distrust of scientific community is understandable. Distrust is different than anti-science. Connect to the distrust. Use it to educate

1 new study almost never upsets the established scientific consensus, but media attn to a new study gives the impression of just that. https://t.co/hQVH513O5c
