🐟What stories do you tell about your research?
🐟What stories are you listening to?
🐟Could you be listening differently?
🐟What stories do we need to tell together?

Questions posed in a thought-provoking start to #ASFB2025 from Jess Melbourne-Thomas, on science storytelling in a challenging future.

Inspired by @chloetas.bsky.social and her powerful post, and using @edhawkins.org warming stripes

I was really moved by this figure from @drjessmt.bsky.social’s keynote address this morning at #ASFB2025

These changes are occurring faster and faster, with future generations facing #climatechange conditions that would be unthinkable to their ancestors, visualizing it like this makes it personal 🔥

To celebrate #NationalScienceWeek I want to share my favourite aspect of science - combining my love of nature with my curiosity (my inner "but why?" 3yr old!).
Seeking solutions for biodiversity, fundamental for a healthy planet and society.

For National Science Week I wanted to share my favourite two little scientists! Miss 9yr old was born on the inaugural International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Miss 7yr old was born while I was in the very first contingent of #SuperStarsofSTEM 🧑‍🔬 👩‍🔬
