Developing your research message triangle: what's the problem? why should your audience care, what's the benefit to them? what do you want your reader to do, feel, think as a result? Thanks, @LindaGlaser1 for your help at #COMM5660 #scicomm #PhD improving #Career skills

[Careers Beyond Academia @CUGradCareers]

Simplifying your message does not equate to dumbing it down. Just tell 'em what you're doing and why it matters. https://t.co/jnKditMSoJ

@SecretaryZinke @SecretaryZinke - reporting bear observations on trails? There's an app for that. @iSeeMammals is a #citsci project started in NY w/ @USGSCoopUnits @NYSDEC that collects data from observations, hikes, and #trailcams to inform bear management. Even works on trails w/o wifi.

Invasive water chestnut has obvious recreational impacts, but ecological and biogeochemical impacts are much less studied. No need to worry though, @WadeintheWoods is on it! #DNRsymp2018

New grad student Chris puts DNR to the test: despite our support for renewable energy, only about half the people in the room would want to live next to a solar/wind farm! 🤔#DNRsymp2018

[Cornell DNR GSA @CornellDNR_GSA]

Sarah explains topophilia and biophilia; a love of place and nature. Her thesis looked af how these influence people’s behavior in regards to a nature preserve #DNRsymp2018

The inadvertently all-female Faculty Panel for #DNRsymp2018 has ended 😭 Advice and reflection to start off a new semester in @CornellCALS. What great conversation on looking forward in Natural Resources. Scroll thru tweets to see highlights and chime in your thoughts!

Audience asks Q4: Where do you get your #creativity? A4: Long distance #running, Look for what's missing, Precision of word choice, #Collaboration, Methodologies. Rewarding responses to a meaningful question, wrapping back to keynote @ewsanderson insights on science #DNRsymp2018

[Cornell DNR GSA @CornellDNR_GSA]

@WadeintheWoods @vlspringer72 Vanessa looks very #skeptical but #attentive

[Cornell DNR GSA @CornellDNR_GSA]

Q3: How to prepare #gradstudents for job market? A3: Job postings look for candidates w/ ALL the skills- def hard! Have project mgmt skills, >1 interest + skills, develop prof. networks, have honest convos w/ advisors about what you want, even if not academic. #phdchat #phdlife

@CornellCALS @DrewHarvell @JoleahLamb We just had a presentation from Prof Matt Hare at the #DNRsymp2018 talk about his work and sabbatical in Hawaii! A great place to learn and grow!

[Cornell DNR GSA @CornellDNR_GSA]

Q2: #scicomm. How do you do it? A2: Early involvement of #stakeholders, early punchlines, seeking to understand not necessarily changing, but also looking at big picture and addressing #institutional problems so that changes stick, not just individual-level nudging.
