Scientific knowledge is acquired using the scientific method. I'd turn the sentence around: If people trust you & believe you share values with them, they're more likely to listen to you, regardless of whether you are doing #scicomm or sharing fake news

The power of medical #VR: “Your brain actually can get tricked into internalizing that experience as a memory of something that’s happened to you,” Shaw says. “That’s where you get this really interesting opportunity to learn.” #sciart @embodiedLabs https://t.co/BU1xQnFTJS

Learned a bunch from the 3d anatomy webinar by @galecengage. Def. going to advocate for more 3d models/interactives in the courses I work on. These kinds of tools really helped me in my courses--glad to know they do improve student performance and decrease need for prelabs.
