Who knew you could learn about #COVID19 and shake your booty at the same time? 🤓🍑

Check out @AustynSciences and I’s music video to “Coro-No You Better Don’t” OUT NOW! 🥳🕺🏽

Educate yourself while having some fun! #SciComm @carinbondar @goUFV

Just editing my video on COVID-19 and its effects on the B.C. coast- specifically marine life!! So excited to share it with everyone @carinbondar #scicomm #sciencecommunication #scicommchat #covidundergrad #marinelife

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

Who knows the effects of Covid-19 in BC coastal waters? Had a great talk with a few scientists about this! Stay tuned for my final paper! @carinbondar #scicomm #scicommchat #sciencecommunication #covidundergrad

Will & Jada situation is crazy. You know what’s crazier? On March 13 cops busted in a house without knocking or saying they are police then shot a lady sleeping in her bed and no cops got arrested. Her name, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American emergency room technician

Celebrities with huge platforms endorse #science and are believed over scientists! This is scary as some celebrities have no #STEM background. It’s common to see #celebrities promote pseudoscience as they cannot differentiate between reliable/unreliable sources. #scicomm

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

@iamwill has a TV show called https://t.co/sOaHdGbcDp.FIRST-Science is Rock and Roll, encouraging young students to participate in #robotics #STEM. It’s important for young minds to see celebrities endorsing #education!! He also has a scholarship fund! https://t.co/NbAXH1cJr3

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

#Celebrities with minimal background in #STEM are seen endorsing products/ideas. This can be dangerous as it may be #pseudoscience. However, celebrities who are educated on the matter are promoting brilliant ideas to an audience that would not normally be exposed to #science!

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

#LDF encourages kids start respecting and #preservinganimals at an early age as they will grow with that mindset. This is in attempt to protect the worlds last #wild places! #scicomm #scicommchat @carinbondar Learn more about preserving wildlife: https://t.co/7Kt7CCvQz7

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

Promoting #STEM and #environmental education will promote healthy lifestyles and longer lives. Teaching everyone about our #carbonfootprint will help preserve the planet. #LDF emphasizes #media, #technology, #science as that’s how the world runs today. https://t.co/xnxe0ui04d

Many are predicting a 3rd #worldwar will be over #water. Dirty drinking water leads to many health complications including death. The #LDF water defence provides clean drinking water to US citizens who don’t have any. @LeoDiCaprio Check it out: https://t.co/w7jEerane9 #scicomm

#Scientists should be trusted more with #covid19 as they are the most credible source. Since many individuals don’t agree with the presidential leadership of the USA it’s hard to #trust those in charge. This leads to the inadequate response to the #virus causing many casualties.

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

Twitter is a big platform in conveying #scientificknowledge. It allows you to interact with more readers by commenting and preventing the spread of #pseudoscience at the get go! Scientific knowledge is spread to those who don’t even read scientific journals! #scicomm #scicommchat

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

The mistrust in our political leaders has led to the weakend response of #covid19. We are learning about the #virus as we go so we need to trust our #scientific leaders! Mistrust in the poltitical leaders of the US at this time is correlated with the weakend #pandemic response.

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

More extensive #research into identifying #epidemics is needed for stronger #medical systems and economy. Most people in developing countries aren’t even getting mandatory #vaccinations!!! #covid19 has taught us we need better medical infrastructure.#sciencecommunication #scicomm

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

Preventing the spread of #pseudoscience can be done with teaching journalists about reputable sources! Ask questions to #reputable sources! #sciencecommunication #scicomm #scicommchat @carinbondar Here’s more info on how to differentiate between sources: https://t.co/Jm8HYpJ6lq

Did you know the vaccine for the #Ebola virus has just been approved! IT TOOK 7 YEARS!! @carinbondar #sciencecommunication https://t.co/VXigD7RWrN

Hey! @CaraSantaMaria despite your unwavering commitment to accomplish what you have, what was your biggest roadblock pursuing a #career in the #media? How were you able to overcome it? #sciencecommunication #scicomm #scicommchat #billnye @carinbondar @TalkNerdy_Pod

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

The #misinformation and #pseudoscience I was exposed to during the initial outbreak of #Covid19 emphasizes the importance of being able to distinguish between different types of information! Pseudoscience can be dangerous!! #sciencecommunication #scicomm #scicommchat @carinbondar

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

The “What is Science” part of the paper linked below really emphasizes the fine line between #pseudoscience and #science. Just remember: wherever there is a science concentration there is pseudoscience!!! Don’t believe everything you hear! Take a read: https://t.co/L5UwWxFvaR

[Simiran Gill @simirangill]

Many don’t realize health websites which promote carbs “make you fat” are actually promoting #pseudoscience! Anti-vax individuals are also believing pseudoscience as there is no evidence that supports #vaccines are detrimental to healthy humans! #sciencecommunication @carinbondar
