European Science Communication Institute

Our take on: What are musts in #ScienceCommunication ✅ ✅ Science communication goes beyond simply sharing scientific information. It requires nuance and intention. Defining the core message and identifying the right audience are just some of the key questions to consider for effective outreach.

Our take on: What are no-gos in #SciComm 🛑❕  Science communication takes many shapes and forms, and this diversity is part of what makes the field so engaging. At the same time, there are certain pitfalls to avoid, regardless of the format. We asked our team to share some of their key red flags.

Our take on: Why is #ScienceCommunication important 🧪🗣️ It's both our profession & our passion. We believe it plays an important role in shaping a brighter future. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear directly from our science communicators. 👇

Climate change is complex and that complexity is often exploited. Before sharing, pause, question, and verify. Reliable information is based on evidence. Understanding it is key to informed decisions. ℹ️More Info: https://climate.ec.europa.eu/eu-action/climate-disinformation_en #ClimateFactsMatter

Our take on: What is science communication 🧪 🗣️ There are so many ways to communicate science, which is what makes this field so creative and exciting. What activities or elements are part of science communication for you? #ScienceCommunication #SciComm

📣 #ScienceCommunication today is about tailoring messages and creating real understanding.  Our outreach manager @fintanburke.com shares how the field has evolved and why knowing how media works is key for his role.  🎥 Watch the video to learn more.

🔬 For some, research is the goal. For others, it’s sharing science. In this video, our science communicator Daniel shares why he moved into #ScienceCommunication, how starting out in this field is like and how he keeps the fast-paced work on track.

#ScienceCommunication isn’t just about creativity. Teamwork and organisation is part of it, too!  🎥 In this video, our admin assistant Maialen Lopez Garcia shares why working with science communicators is never boring and how a little bureaucracy keeps things running.

What have we been up to? We've been chatting with more of our ESCI team about their work and how they found their way into science communication. A fresh round of ESCI's Insights is on the way. Stay tuned if you are interested in science communication. #SciComm #ScienceCommunication

Berlin's 🚰 depends on groundwater: overuse & climate change could have major impacts. Researchers are developing climate trend predictions & analysing measures to ensure water supply. Working in #ScienceJournalism? Use our B-roll & interviews for free ➡️ www.science-stories.com/story/berlin...

And off they go! 🚚👋 Producing print materials that effectively convey research is about asking: What is needed? What message should be sent and to whom? How to bring it to life on paper? It’s a process that takes time, teamwork and love for research!🧠❤️ #ScienceCommunication

Great to see some of the research projects we're involved in—along with the wider science community—are making their way here.✨ Excited to watch this space grow and to bring research conversations to this platform. We’re looking forward to discovering and sharing what our projects have in store! 🔬

Just quickly introducing ourselves as we haven’t done so yet. 🙂 We are a non-profit organisation of science communicators, science journalists, graphic designers and video producers, and we’re excited to build a community around #ScienceCommunication with you here on Bluesky!
