Therefore, when in doubt genetic counseling by a certified professional is very important.

#SciRiddles 4

Sweet&sour backbone. Encrypted information in rings and bonds. Opening up to multiply though half of it still lingering. Holding in its steps the information of what you are.

Did you guess? It's DNA!

DNA has a sugar-phosphate backbone shaped like a spiral ladder, whose steps hold an *encrypted* ACGT *code* about us.
DNA segments can be coding (genes) or non-coding and the entire set is called a genome.

#SciRiddles 2 - The reveal

B letter. A priority. All in or all out. See, smell, hear, taste, and touch all. Confined but also spread out. Grey but also white.

Guessed it?

It's the BRAIN.

Can we animate scicomm? Will people still trust that information?

As scientists we often debate wether keeping or abandoning "traditional" ways of doing scicomm.

Seldom we remember that sometimes the most efficient ways are the most empathetic ones.

Like humor. And light-heartedness.

Also (finally) got around to update website contents. Almost done👌🏽

Animated communication - MySciVoice

Can we animate communication? Would it still be taken seriously? Sometimes in an effort to be credible / trustworthy we loose sight of the most empathetic form of reaching others. Humor and lightheartedness.

One Science to steer them all - MySciVoice

Scientists come in all sizes, shapes, and backgrounds. And Science is actually a large number of sciences or, more accurately, of scientific fields. Never decide not to believe in science (whatever the field) just because someone did not to bother to explain that we are (always) still working on the problem. And that work is being done for everyone’s benefit.

International day of tolerance.

Instead of "just" tolerate - See, Observe, Embrace, Communicate!

Don't tolerate! See, observe, embrace, communicate! - MySciVoice

(Science) communication strategies can not be oblivious of differences in backgrounds, cultures, social contexts. It should embrace those differences and enrich the interaction accordingly.

Aesthetics over content?

When did we loose track of the importance of good quality content, forsaking it in favor of "good looks"?

On the importance of content 👇🏽

Content? What content? - MySciVoice

When (and how) did we get so caught up with "the looks" that we (willingly) forsake the contents? The looks are captivating, and the "information" so promptly absorbed. In reality, it is an empty vessel.
