Yes! Thanks Christian - I didn't realise I'd copied from a version I was viewing through Liverpool's network and now I can't edit it!

Apologies - apparently the link to the Public Understanding of Science paper is broken due to network issues my end. It's available open access here: doi.org/10.1177/09636625251387445

Ah, apologies. I think my browser routes all academic journal articles through the Liverpool network (even when open access) and changes the links. It's open access here: doi.org/10.1177/09636625251387445

Feel free to download and use the toolkit in your own practice or share with others who may be interested!

I'd love to hear any thoughts on this research or its implications for you. I’m always happy to hear from practitioners working on the ground!

We also have a new journal article which can be found in Public Understanding of Science here: doi-org.liverpool.idm.oclc.org/10.1177/0963...

We’ve now produced a toolkit to guide science communicators through (critically) using certain strategies. It has been beautifully illustrated by @jordancollver.bsky.social (in collab with @rikworth.bsky.social) and can be downloaded as a PDF here:

livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3194747/

We asked whether they used these strategies and what opportunities or risks these strategies (which are often used in misinformation and conspiracies) might hold for science communication.
