Hey science colleagues! I am once again posting about my survey, if you or someone you know has freshwater fished in the last year within the US or Canada I’d love to hear about the threats that impact you/them! bit.ly/40DFOcx

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

@dogfishwalker.bsky.social do you happen to have any freshwater fisheries contacts? I launched a freshwater fisheries threats survey for the US and Canada and want a larger response from Canada.

I’m teaching a science communication course to our natural resources and EnviSci students this fall. I want to make a resource list of excellent SciComm examples. What are some podcasts, video series, periodicals, writers, and creators that you’re loving lately that my students should know? 🧪🦈🐟

The dark side of social science surveys is the comments/messages you get from people who can’t comprehend that your intentions are for science. Last year was told to walk out into traffic by a guy on Facebook when I tried to join a fishing group.
