How can we make scientists trust the public to be able to be part of science? #TownHall #naturalhistorymuseum @NHM_Denmark

Back home! Thank you @Ecsite team for 5-days of inspiring sessions, motivating conversations, and... let’s not forget the dancing 💃 à bientôt!! Til next time ☺️ #Ecsite2019

[Marie Hobson @mchobson]

Study commissioned by @brookesimler @KavliFoundation found that the science communication training community is like the Wild West with trainings popping up all over the place. This runs the risk of us reinventing the wheel or, worse still, the flat tyre! #Ecsite2019 #Movie2

Slime moulds will build optimal networks, are able to find the shortest way through a maze and have picky food preferences shows @Docteur_Drey #Ecsite2019

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

The “memory” of the slime mould is the object itself... it’s a genuis without a brain! #revolutionary #cognition #Ecsite2019

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

@Docteur_Drey delivers a hilarious intro at #Ecsite2019 what do scrambled eggs, guns and gardening have in common?! 😂

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

A peer-reviewed, open science journal for children to publish their science projects?! @AlikiG I’m sold!! #Ecsite2019 #movie3

Want to influence politicians? Try organizing a science cafe INSIDE your parliament like they do at Centro Ciencia Viva ❤️ #movie1 #ecsite2019

@BradInLondon That is extremely impressive international reach! Wow! #ecsite2019 #movie1

Soft power is most credible when conducted by civil society = huge capacity for museums to be soft power institutions! @Gail_Lord #ecsite2019 #movie1

We can play music without knowing how to read 🎶 maths is similar! You can write equations... but many things “do” mathematics like #corals So we can “do” mathematics using our bodies and yarn 🧶 #Ecsite2019 #largestage @margaretwerth

@margaretwerth Using traditional female handicraft #crochet to explain hyperbolic surfaces #TactileTruth #Ecsite2019

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

Does a sea slug know hyperbolic geometry because it embodies it? Yes, it does! Wonderful reflections on #embodiedknowledge by Margaret Wertheim #Ecsite2019

Would you like a life without dreams? No! Would you like a life without VR?? No! Professor @JustinDillonUoE Takes a stand!! We’re only beginning to realize what VR offers visitors... #Ecsite2009 #largestage

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

Museums are competing in the experience economy: Use VR... or risk losing your visitors! Says expert witness @mchobson 😉 #Ecsite2009 #largestage

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

@maartenokkersen says VR does NOT foster creativity... plus, we’re skeptical about socks 😂 #largestage #ecsite2019

[Holly Hasted @HollyAHasted]

VR is on trial! Does it help people feel? Transport visitors to different worlds? @BradInLondon Or is it costly and virtually awful?? @AlikiG #ecsite2019 #largestage
