1/ This is the start of a #Thread about #scicomm inspired by the great feedback from many of those who attended my #PhD defense! Below, you'll find ideas, examples and resources.
To me, the way I communicate is just as important as the science that I do. Here is an example:

The first climate model that estimated how the world might warm in the future was published in 1970.
That model, as well as ones published in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, have done a remarkably good job predicting what actually occurred in the years after they were published

Scientists have developed tattoos that change color in response to glucose, albumin, and pH levels. The new tech could let people with diabetes or kidney disease track and control their health without having to take frequent blood samples. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2019044…

How to start a presentation?
Most people start with all the boring info (e.g., repeating everything your host just said) and unmotivated technical details. 🥱
After a few mins, everyone starts checking their phone! 😱
How to avoid this? Here is a simple template. 🧵
