I'm a scientist, standing in front of anyone attempting science communication, BEGGING y'all to stop generating AI garbage images to go with your article/podcast.
Example #7,358,367 of utter garbage AI image that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual science:

More clickbaity #BadSciComm with a stupidly misleading article title about something that is cool and interesting without the BS.
The original title fuels anti-science propaganda ("scientists don't know anything") as well as anti-science conspiracy theories ("they're hiding the 'truth' from us").

Another #BadSciComm article about a hot spring forming in Yellowstone National Park.
As someone who has studied Yellowstone hydrothermal systems for over 20 years, I can tell you that this happens (literally) all the time.
But clickbait gotta clickbait.

My hot take: Part of #BadSciComm is putting out sensationalized articles about already thoroughly debunked "stories" of fantasy disasters rather than articles about the looming REAL TIME global climate change disaster that we should be dealing with NOW.
