Day 3 of #BSP2023 begins today with our @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session! SPPIRIT is an excellent ECR organisation for parasitologists working in Scotland, but all ECRs will benefit from the expertise today in publishing & attracting funding! #parasitology 
Here are the talks for today's @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session at #BSP2023! A big thanks to @CambridgeUP who are here in person as sponsors (so visit their table!). They are publishers of the journal "Parasitology" & an original sponsor of the BSP! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Our 1st talk at the #BSP2023 ECR session with @SPPIRITnetwork is from @StothardRuss, Parasitology Editor-In-Chief with tips on getting your manuscript 'in press'! There is also a webinar available with tips from @CambridgeUP at #parasitology
#ironic really when I have to watch people like @totalcrime Mr Chris Summers who has the audacity to rt this that talks of what those do not want you to know when this vile little man not only talked with me over the phone a number of times to where we
were even going to meet up, who even attended the @INQUEST_ORG who was #reporting on #myson #AmbroseGGBall case, who heard all that we had seen on #ccvfootage, who saw the so called fake set up #accident scene, who knew of all the attacks on my child just before he
went @missingpeople never to be seen alive ever again.
This is the same #vile little man who attempted to humiliate me .
Who was misleading the #publicengagement with statements such as implying that we only started questioning my sons death after we viewed the body 3 months

And #ECRday2022 is off! We're kicking off with a panel on 'The Early Career Journey' with a team of @qub_belfast experts. Before we get started: some housekeeping! Thanks are due to @DNIRE1, Alice at @QUBPostdoc & @WrayRamona for being so amazingly helpful & supportive 🙏
@DNIRE1 @QUBPostdoc @WrayRamona We also need to thank @QUBResearchPol for the funding that enabled us to pay all our speakers & chairs: only right to reward their time, expertise & generosity!
@DNIRE1 @QUBPostdoc @WrayRamona @QUBResearchPol Speaking of chairs, today we are in the hands of @J_O_McCullough, who is a @nbcdtp PhD Candidate at @ModLangs_QUB.
Starting soon: Online launch of #ConnectingTheWatts. Looking forward to hearing from @darrenpjones, @IanMcCluskey (@IGEMGi), @macleank (@UKERCHQ), Prof Paul Ekins @UCL, @claudiajaksch, @reindeloor & Verity Winn (@Policy_Connect). policyconnect.org.uk/events/launch-…
@darrenpjones @IanMcCluskey @IGEMGi @macleank @UKERCHQ @ucl @claudiajaksch @reindeloor @Policy_Connect Starting now! Thanks to @Policy_Connect interim CEO @claudiajaksch for introducing the session. Live tweets to follow here - join in with #ConnectingTheWatts.
We now hear from @macleank: "Decarbonisation is simply such an important topic. We've had many years and reports setting the aspirations around #ClimateChange, but now is the time for action. The recognition of the need for a #NetZero delivery authority is a key recommendation"
After a year of @GSPIA @SciPitt @PittEcon #D4BL student-led engagement, survey, design, coding, writing, testing and polishing, #GrieftoAction 412Connect.org is finally open!
Univ students - meet minority business incubator @RCIPittsburgh and 8 BOBs in their own words!
Univ students - meet minority business incubator @RCIPittsburgh and 8 BOBs in their own words!
The idea of supporting BOBs was first proposed to @CaasiPitt by D.Cohen @FordInstitute, then evolved into a social media scavenger hunt thru conversations led by #GSPIA @iyounanan @MaraMccloud with feedback from @CommForgePGH @CocoaPreneurPgh @BlackownedPGH @MetropolitanU
The platform design team @MichaelLHamilt3 of @KatzPittBiz and @alexdc_info of @WUSTL DCDS designed a non-linear badge system for completing #412Connect challenges. Ivy Chang of @PittEcon worked with @PittStudents and @PittHonors to offer badge conversions to OCC credit.
We’re off: #ECRday2021 is a go! I’d like to thank @QUBelfast & @UKRI_News for the financial support today. I’m hugely grateful to @SophcoCooper's technical support & @QUBPostdoc for wisdom + advice! The programme for today is here: alisongarden.com/ecrday2021-aca… 🧵 of the day below...
Thanks to @SophcoCooper for the tech assistance today! As well as being a whizz with tech, she's a scholar of the Irish diaspora. She writes on migration, gender, religion and space. See more here: sophiecooperhistory.wordpress.com She also runs: irishdiasporahistory.wordpress.com #IrishStudies
Our first panel of #ECRday2021 is on ‘Postdoctoral Fellowships on Projects’. We’ll hear from @comyn_scomyn & @AMFoster_ about the challenges, processes and joys of working on group projects as a #postdoc in the arts, humanities & social sciences. #ECRchat #PhDchat #Academia
We are starting our Christmas Countdown a little early this year with the A-Z of @drakonheritage #ChristmasIsComing #ChristmasCountdown
First up. A is for Archaeology. Our year has been full of many great objects from the field. Swords, brooches, lots of iron and so many coins... #ArchaeologicalConservation #Archaeology
B is for Broken. This Anglo-Saxon vessel was hit by a plough. By re-joining the fragments we can appreciate its form but I loved seeing the repairs made in the past. What a valued object this must have been to someone. What stories it could tell. #conservation #ChristmasCountdown
A new research study in @bmj_latest doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m3… finds the risk to die early (<70yrs) increases with irregularity & length of women’s #menstrualcycle irregularity, with premature mortality mostly due to #cardiovasculardisease. What's it mean for women with #PCOS? 1/13
PCOS affects 10% of women worldwide & irregular menstrual cycles are a common symptom. Many of the women in this study likely have PCOS. Understandably, the higher rates of premature mortality reported will be worrying to women with PCOS. But what causes period irregularity? 2/13
Increased levels of male hormones #androgens are a cause of irregular periods (see: doi.org/10.1177/204201…; doi.org/10.1210/en.201…) and also impact on pancreatic beta cell function (doi.org/10.2337/db20-0…) causing #insulinresistance 3/13
[Day4: Strengths & Limits of #SciComm forms, media, & spaces]
It's theory vs practice day!
There are loads of resources out there for #BestPractices. Today, let's discuss the strengths & limitations YOU've found in trying #STEM #storytelling, #comedy, #SciArt, #digital, & more!

I'll start w/ my favorite resources: @edbeltane & @OliverEscobar's "Public Dialogue & Delibration" & #WendyFaulkner's "Dialogue in #PublicEngagement" handbooks.
How do participant #communication styles impede/help your purpose, eg. #dialogue vs #debate?

These have been crucial in my understanding of #experiencedesign when creating events or experiences for diverse #scicomm audiences & participants.
There's a purpose for panels and debates. But also a reason why they fail in "changing minds" or creating power-balanced convos.

[Day3: Creating & Sustaining Spaces of Practice]
Q: Have you created or been part of initiatives for #Science #STEM #STEAM #SciComm practice? Are you considering creating one yourself?
Today we'll discuss "safe spaces to fail" and scaffolded experiences to build up your skills!

It's me, @kylemarian! I'm excited to start a new week of conversations here with y'all.
I'm a #SciComm consultant w/ a passion for creating intersectional, interdisciplinary, & inclusive communities & experiences. This week we're covering practice, failure, strategy, & #comedy!

A lil more about my #science background: I'm a former #physicalanthropologist who studied the Indonesian "hobbit" species #Homofloresiensis. I also taught dissection-based human gross anatomy and excavated w/ friends in #Atapuerca #PinilladelValle Spain.

My #SciComm training started w/ the @AldaCenter using acting-based #improv to finetune my sense of creating together w/ others & actively listening. Then I took a career pivot towards taking my MSc in #SciComm & #PublicEngagement at @EdinburghUni w/c led me to @BrightClubEDN!
Are you a #scientist trying to write up your #publicengagement or #rri work for publication? Some thoughts (a thread)
Most of the papers I review are either incredibly dense with theory and mathematical jargon, or treated as a chance to show off about a fun thing you did. I'd like to make the case that something in between these is needed.
When papers are swamped in technical language, it can give the impression that the writer has quite a limited point of view on what is publishable and possibly is uncertain of the validity of the approach they took.
