Nice reminder for all communicating #scientists to be specific (by the Science Media Center):

"Talking about systems and processes and strategy without giving any examples of what that looks like to normal people reading the news puts even more distance between scientists and the people. The public are alienated and the meaning is lost."

At the opening reception of the #ag2025goerlitz astronomy conference in #Goerlitz I spotted this poster about the benefits of the #Fediverse for #ScienceCommunication - great arguments but ... what about longterm stability? Will important and maybe even influential #Mastodon posts be still around in 5, 10, 50 years? On much-despised X - or FB - those from 10+ years ago are still around (if you know the URLs).

If you like #DataViz or a curious about it, come on September 29 for a one-two punch of hands-on tutorials and and stick around for Nicola Rennie's talk on building effective data visualisations the next day.
