Our colleagues at @Brains_On @APMStudios made an episode for kids about how people learn to read - and why it can be so hard. I hope you’ll listen and share it with kids in your life. Especially kids who’ve had a hard time w/reading. https://t.co/r0z2S6wzXt

What are some #scicomm communities you are a part of?

What are the things you like about them?

I'm doing a small survey to understand how SciCommers and enthusiasts connect and network for learning, opportunities, and collaborations.

@SarahBearchell @sophtalkssci @BIGchats I’m a Sci comm professional in the US. Do you think the BIG conference is geared to UK professionals or would it be applicable to people from all over? It looks amazing!
