Really enjoying seeing everyone's goals as a LingCommer in the chat!

"I always ask my students, and the younger they are the more fun it is, have you ever seen some communications that are clearly aimed at your demographic but are actually missing the mark?"

Ionica Smeets talking about "Maths and Life", a book she made with collaborators about kids' real-world math questions, like "Can you have a bath in your own tears?"

Science communication journals highlighted by @ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy which linguists could be publishing in...maybe? They don't publish a ton of humanities/social sciences (but they do some?)

On metaphor: a study that I didn't get the details of shows that using two metaphors to explain a science topic is worse than using none at all, people just get confused

Many people in the chat saying they love using examples instead in linguistics
