Is research impact being over-stated by the colourful use of language? #scicom blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

Do you know your good #statistics from your bad statistics? #scicomm I rediscovered this guide to stats from Sense About Science when I was preparing for some training this week. Very useful background reading for science communicators and press officers. senseaboutscience.org/activities/m...

Our tree is an eclectic mix of deccys collected over the past 15 years. It's more like a memory tree 🎄 The robots are a staff secret Santa gift from British Science Association - many years ago. This year's addition is an alpaca from a morning walking alpacas in the Welsh mountains with friends ♥️

The UK Parliament Knowledge Exchange Unit's newsletter is always an interesting read - it's great for getting a sense of what's on the #policy agenda and where researchers can contribute. This week they're plugging a call for #evidence about misinformation committees.parliament.uk/work/8641/so...

I love Word of the Year, mainly because I've always been fascinated by how language evolves, and who owns language. Demure has my vote. But here's my favourite word from our little corner of Cymru: "Bendigedig beyond" - more fantastic than you can possibly imagine.

Time for an #introduction I'm a science communicator (of other people's research), my comms superpowers are writing and strategy and I lead Campus PR, a specialist sci comm agency in the UK. 🧪 I live in a vibrant community in rural Wales. I'm learning Welsh (badly), poetry and attempting Mozart 🎹

Turns out Socrates was a tech-phobe. Only, he's not talking about the horror of smartphones. He's talking about reading and writing. Tech panics are as old as philosophy.

The Campus PR team have come together to kick AI's various tyres this week. Can we embed #AI into our ways of working❓ We've agreed that ⤵️ ⭐We champion trustworthy, human-generated #scicomm content ⭐We need an ethical framework + transparency ⭐AI can deliver efficiencies but won't replace us.

When research comms makes the frontpage - I've been reminded that size isn't everything! We successfully pitched exclusives to the FT and BBC about Aston University's report on the impact of the Brexit trade agreement on imports and exports.

I really enjoyed interviewing the team at Aston University and Alpharmaxim for this Knowledge Transfer Project case study. The KTP has created the world’s first evidence-based behaviour change tool to support the adoption of new drugs for rare and complex diseases. www.aston.ac.uk/business/col...

It's been a pleasure to work on this report from Aston University, showing the stifling effects of Brexit on EU-UK Trade. The Campus PR team have secured broadcast and print coverage for the research today across the BBC and FT. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I quite like BlueSky, it has the simplicity of Twitter when I joined way back in 2009.

Holiday mode is loading... After a busy busy summer, it's time for a short break to recharge the mind and soul. I'm very much looking forward to switching off and exploring North West Wales in our campervan!

Despite my irrational fear of buzzy things, its been great to achieve top-tier media coverage across several outlets for this UKCEH story this week - highlighting the great work of citizen scientists in spotting the invasive Asian hornet. #stempr #ecology www.ceh.ac.uk/press/citize...
