Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

“Since I’ve become a mom, my ability to worry has increased exponentially” says Cathy Drennan @Drennan_Lab I feel that one. And love that she brings the story of being a mom into her presentation on science to draw others in and make it relatable #spreadingfacts

Me: nope. Not gonna happen. I’m not subscribing to another streaming service

DisneyPlus: we’ve got a new series coming with @KChenoweth

Me: okay, fine. You got me. *hands over money*

Grant Sanderson (@3blue1brown) makes videos about math on YouTube. They're incredibly popular. https://t.co/VlkwA8hNbz He shows the crowd at #spreadingfacts a cool way to factor numbers that are near squares. Cool tricks lead to formulas, but don't need to.

"Why are we limiting ourselves to words?" The ideas of science often start out very visual, and ironically, they turn into words to be legitimated in books, sez @asymptotia. We shouldn't apologize for graphics or pictures - it's incredibly powerful. #spreadingfacts

[Katie Luu @luubiquitous]

.@Drennan_Lab talks about communicating science as a researcher. Be relatable; focus on only one major takeaway, and give people a reason to take action now without guilting them for not acting earlier. #SpreadingFacts

[Haley Bridger @haleybridger]

Trust in science has remained stable, says John Randell of AAAS, even as trust in other institutions has declined #spreadingfacts

[Katie Luu @luubiquitous]

.@mchris4duke and @SunshineMenezes on centering inclusion and equity in science communication. What is science, who gets to communicate it, and who gets to engage in science dialogue—and where does trust fit in? #spreadingfacts @mitpress @techreview

[Katie Luu @luubiquitous]

.@mdichristina, @cgseife, and @glichfield discuss communicating science as journalists at #SpreadingFacts conference at MIT. @mitpress @techreview

Any time you get people angry, you’re going to get attacked—and the job of journalists is often to make people angry—@cgseife #SpreadingFacts

[sarah elizabeth @annotated_sci]

Communicating science as a journalist is different than publishing in journals. There's the interesting story and the people involved, and there's the hard data and method behind them. #spreadingfacts @glichfield @mdichristina @cgseife
