Excited to see folks there and please apply to join! I know @OpenTEAMAg and @LifeAtPurdue OATS program folks will be there like @sudokita ... @benjaminaustic and @a_farmboy share this on your Farm Twitters plz!
@sciencevs I also see how as a science writer, you see the worst parts of public misinterpretation and consequences - so your opinion on the topic make sense. But I think you should have the discussion.
@sciencevs I enjoyed the show, but think that on the core issue of pre-print publication and the engagement of the messy scientific process with a general audience, the producers didn't give perspective to both sides.
@sciencevs By breaking down and normalizing the process as whole culture (not just 'scientists' over there) maybe we address the mistrust. So yeah - you should do a show about that topic and you give both sides opportunity to discuss.
@sciencevs There is a whole group of people who feel that the veil we hold between the discussions in the scientific community and those in the general public in wrong.
@sciencevs But the hosts ended the show essentially either denying that as an honest position, or ridiculing him for having it. I think that's really wrong.
@sciencevs It was clear at the end, when you asked Lee if he felt he had made a mistake, that he had a strong and ideologically based perspective about engaging the public in the scientific process. That is a legitimate and arguable position.
Need a quick infusion of funds to launch a low-cost science tool? @jenny_molloy and I are working with @lets_experiment to distribute $50k to get your new idea off the ground. Apps due 5.31, but get them in sooner. This is a first come/first serve opp. https://t.co/nvLs0tBmiD
๐ In partnership with over 60 orgs, OpenTEAM and @wolfesneck were awarded up to $35 million by the @USDA to support the adoption of #climatesmart#agricultural practices on farms nationwide!
We are so excited for what the future holds for our community!
