Next up is Clare Boon of @UWASciComm

She asserts #scicomm has a diversity problem. Her research looked at the lived experience of queer people at university and how their experiences led them to their area of study.

So great to hear from @TamPinkerton about her research at #ASCSS2022 - all about disability inclusion in #CitizenScience!

"Inclusion needs to be proactively applied" 👍

Awesome stuff coming out of @UWASciComm 🥰

[Dr Tom Carruthers @SciTJC]

Next up for #ASCSS2022 is Tamara Pinkerton of @UWASciComm.

She is speaking on the barriers that exist preventing participation in citizen science. Identifying these obstacles is important for designing inclusive projects that have better outcomes.

New research just published: @heatherbray6 & co-authors explores the value of perceptions of #scicomm professionals to develop informed and evidence-based practices. DOI: https://t.co/3jGhwpGAnF

[UWASciComm @UWASciComm]

Thanks so much to #FameLabAcademy for having me as your MC today. I hope we'll see some of you in #scicomm soon!

Do you coordinate or manage a #citizenscience project in Australia? Then we'd love to chat with you for about an hour or so about how we can be more inclusive of people with disabilities. Contact details in image :)

Happy #SciCommSeptember :) A bit about me!

I'm Sophie (she/her), Master of Sci Comm student @UWASciComm and working with the recfishing gang @FisheriesWA!

Interested in human dimensions of recreational fishing and challenges of communicating with recfishers 🎣

So lovely to see our students participating in #comm2inspire today. They ushered, filmed, photographed, chaired, tweeted, networked, and questioned. Great job! #ourSCOMmunity #scicomm @BiolSci_UWA

One of the best parts of going to a conference is the people you see - catching up with @UWASciComm researchers at the scenic Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre during #Comm2Inspire2022 @ASC_WA @auscicomm #scicomm

[Lyndal Byford @lyndalbyford]

🤔What can we do about scientists being harassed and abused online?

Looking forward to speaking about this important issue at #Comm2Inspire this afternoon @ASC_WA #AcademicTwitter

We're a bit late to the party, but hopefully some (more) of our amazing scientists will join in #MyScienceMay and share their inspiring science stories (and tag us in 😉)
