Dropping in to post a fangirl update about the fab @scidocmartin.bsky.social who recently presented for #DeakinRDA about 'Telling the story of your research'.

An excellent intro to research comms + the crucial deliberations that are involved. So much wisdom, never enough time. Thanks, Jen. 🤩

Recording Let’s Talk Scicomm with Michael has been one of my most rewarding and fulfilling projects over the last three years.

For our 100th episode we had a lot of fun asking each other all the rapid fire questions we’ve asked our guests over the past 13 seasons.

We hope you’ll enjoy our chat 💙
If you were an icecream, what flavour would you be?

This is just one of the hard-hitting questions @michael-wheeler.bsky.social & @scidocmartin.bsky.social had fun answering in our 100th episode 😂

Huge thanks to all our fabulous listeners for your support 🙏💙

We loved talking with @georgiejspeechpath.bsky.social, a clinical researcher whose PhD focused on childhood stuttering. She’s had lots of #scicomm experience talking about this important and sensitive topic with kids, their carers and the media.

We are quick to set screen time limits on kids, but what about parents?

See our piece out today in The Conversation:

We’re quick to limit kids’ screen time. Parents can also benefit from setting boundaries for themselves
With screens dominating family life, understanding the impact of parental screen habits on the health of the whole family can guide us in setting better boundaries.

How useful is the word ‘snot’ when it comes to communicating about science? Very, it turns out!
