Inspiring thread! When the practice of science and #scicomm is set apart from our humanity, from our search for meaning and justice, it doesn't work at all. This is as important to remember as it has ever been in my lifetime
I have a few thoughts about this! I have a monthly column, I am regularly invited to give public science talks, and I've written a pop sci book that continues to sell remarkably well, four years in -- and is also taught in classrooms around the US.
AND I reached audiences that other pop sci didn't.

Interesting thread. I wonder whether it says that the most important barrier to scientific literacy is (self-directed) interest, not availability of popular science. They’re related but getting people curious about (and interested in) science may be upstream of getting them to engage with pop sci.
