Here's a fascinating way to communicate science and in particular, climate communication. Take a look, and then tell me what you think...
Could this inspire better #scicomm?

"Farmers need to be active actors in climate communication" - on TikTok, no less!
Interview: İlkay Unay-Gailhard talks about her research into how young farmers are using TikTok to get involved the global discourse on agriculture & climate change.
While scientists, policymakers and activists are very present in the climate dialogue, other voices are less likely to be heard. In her study, İlkay Unay-Gailhard from the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) analyzed how young farmers are using TikTok to get involved the global discourse on agriculture and climate change. Mrs […]
A few months old, but an interesting read nonetheless.

How much harder does this make science communication?!
The new Twitter is changing rapidly — Mike Caulfield suggests that we study it before it’s too late: social-media researchers overemphasized the platform for years. But now, as it rapidly changes into something new & frightening, we risk paying too little attention.
The wealth of nations from #fossil fuels is mind-boggling...

A nation's wealth, comprising physical, human, and natural assets significantly influences population well-being. Fossil fuels represent a significant portion of this wealth, bringing economic benefits and challenges. While some countries have used this wealth to improve citizens' lives, it doesn't always lead to desirable social outcomes like reduced income inequality or political corruption.
Great to see Innsbruck University shifting away from TwitteX & over to Mastodon. The question is how long it will take other universities, research orgs, researchers & scientists to move to #Mastodon or #BlueSky - and which platform will become the new space for #scicomm.
https://www.uibk.ac.at/en/newsroom/2023/university-of-innsbruck-focuses-on-mastodon/
The communications team at the University of Innsbruck will increasingly rely on the microblogging service Mastodon for science communication. Mastodon is a non-commercial and data protection-friendly platform with functions similar to the former Twitter. For this purpose, an instance has been created at social.uibk.ac.at on university servers, which is open to the university's organizational units. The active use of X will be significantly reduced.
