It's #FundingFriday ! 💸 ComSciCon Miami received NSPN's Chapter Microgrant to support a #SciComm workshop for STEM graduate students.

On our blog, Rachel Prokopius shares how the funds helped attendees develop communication skills & share their science: ow.ly/Zal150Q5KSG

From Abby Lee: Today's bite explores how we can look at the stellar haloes of galaxies to reconstruct their past merger and accretion events.

What does it mean to be on the scene of making science journalism and media? This webinar will ask leading voices in #SciComm what it takes to share science to mass audiences.

Register to join us on Friday, December 1 at 2pm ET: ow.ly/blTo50Q95o9

teaching galaxy shapes to 2nd graders, I had to first explain what a tuning fork is before I could get to Hubble's classification

#SciComm

Apply to be a part of this awesome group of astro/physics grad students! Astrobites has provided a massively formative step for me in becoming a science writer - you’ll get to produce plenty of clips and gain editing experience in a friendly, constructive environment.

Apply to write for astrobites ! This collaboration made my PhD experience so much better, I highly recommend for interested grad students to give it a shot!

Truly an honour to sit down with NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan and Alejandro Adem for a conversation about the need for increased federal funding for graduate student research Support Our Science and science communication training ComSciCon #CSPC2023

Hear, hear!

The importance of science communication skills cannot be overstated universityaffairs.ca/career-advice/… by Nadia Lana via @ua_magazine ComSciCon 🙏

We need diverse voices, creative approaches, fresh perspectives, and more engagement.

Congratulations to “Science Reporting – In-Depth” Gold Award winner Ashley Smart. brnw.ch/21wEiRV

Fun conversation with Randall Munroe and Zach Weinersmith at the Strand last night about 'A City on Mars'.

Highlight was live workshopping of ideas on how to deorbit the Moon into the Earth

A big thank you to all the people and animals who helped shape this story. This award is a testament to their incredible contributions.

I had a lot of fun writing this comprehensive guide to Gravitational Waves with Jessie Thwaites. Featuring all possible spacetime rumblers seeked by detectors like LIGO EGO & the Virgo Collaboration NANOGrav PFC International Pulsar Timing Array, it's mind-boggling how much progress this field has made in a few short years!

I workshopped an article at ComSciCon, now published in ClubSciWri 🔬✍️ #DiversityInSTEM and #InclusiveScience celebrate URM successes and ensure that STEM is accessible to everyone! Check out my #ScienceEquity article here 👉 sciwri.club/archives/13113

Excited to present my first public #Astrophotography display at heartbreak coffee on the square VisitOxfordMS, thanks to YACoxfordarts!

My latest for astrobites , where I start by worrying about time changing everything, and end up finding peace in a plot. 😌

Oh, also some funky stars and cool science.

Incredibly honored to share that I’ve been selected as a winner of the Awards for Excellence in Science Communications (SciComm Excellence), given by National Academies in partnership with Schmidt Futures, for my Los Angeles Times AAAS Mass Media Fellowship stories.
