Here's a resource I created for my graduate class about purchasing #orangutanfriendly #sustainable #palmoil. #scicomm folks, how do you use your creativity to communicate science or #conservation?

[Shannon Subers @ssubers17]

Excited to be working with @SD_Coastkeeper @projectswell to bring hands on #water #conservation lessons to students across San Diego Unified 🐟 #projectswell #scicomm

[Project SWELL @projectswell]

Welcome to @SD_Coastkeeper new education specialist Shannon Subers! Today was her 1st @projectswell presentation @sdschools! 2/3 grade students were very excited to do #handsonscience! #marinedebris #solutions #pollution #NGSS #humanimpacts

When a group of people come together and support one another, anything's possible👏🙌 #thescicommunity #LGBTSTEMDay #scicomm

Science has many diversity and inclusion problems. I think science communicators are often on the front line of these issues. We can start uncomfortable conversations, introduce new narratives, and create platforms for more diverse voices in science.

This semester I made a pledge to only use #reefsafe mineral sunscreens. As someone who spends a lot of the time at the beach, this was a great change for me to become more eco-friendly! How do you try to be more #ecofriendly ?

[Katie Mummah, PhD @nuclearkatie]

When you communicate science, don't dumb it down... break it down.
When you communicate, answer three questions:
- What is it?
- What are we doing?
- How will this help people?

Please encourage your students. It can be the difference between a student feeling completely lost, and a student that is ready to take on the challenges ahead of them. You make *all* the difference. Be the one to give us strength when we're feeling lost.

[Shannon Subers @ssubers17]

@IHStreet Definitely. Framing it in things that affect people’s daily lives can help. The video in question gave me some hope that maybe skeptics can be convinced to act in pro-environmental ways through using a morality argument even if they do not trust science and data

[Shannon Subers @ssubers17]

I see where you’re coming from and I agree! But convincing skeptics takes nontraditional methods when data is not as important to someone. I think the video does a good job of putting the quote in context— check it out! https://t.co/LC952TzHpd

[Ian Street ☕️ @IHStreet]

In one way, having to state "how much you care" seems ridiculous. We are talking about our home - all of our homes. The only home we will ever know. Doesn't everyone automatically care a lot about that? Shelter is a human need. Earth is our shelter. https://t.co/Q4BUeI7XiK

This evening, the Ocean Film Challenge finalist films premiered at the @dceff_org where the grand jury prize winner of the challenge was announced. Check the article below for a full list of winners! https://t.co/aUTmAlkWOd

[Shannon Subers @ssubers17]

@iamscicomm I watched a great video that explained the trouble scientists have communicating climate change. "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." That's why we need #scicomm to find better approaches to communicating tough topics! https://t.co/QTiqlPTsGV

[Shannon Subers @ssubers17]

Science cannot exist without community engagement, and community engagement must be based on science.

[@IAmSciComm - On a Break! @iamscicomm]

My interest in doing #scicomm also came from the (frustrating) realization that as a researcher my main goal was to write papers that almost nobody would read. What's the point? Can we really call it knowledge if nobody knows about it?

At @SciCommCamp I learned about #Ecologik - a #STEM camp for girls at @SDPublicLibrary using #3DPrinting to teach tide pool preservation in @cabrillonps. Check out this #MatterHackersMinute! #FindYourPark #CabrilloNationalMonument #3DPrinted #GirlsInSTEM https://t.co/VdOHOne3Jt

@SUPScientist I'm a grad student in biodiversity conservation/science comm looking to do a short docu-style video about Smartfin for my class project w/ @sandiegozoo and @PrjDragonfly. Are you interested in being interviewed?
