And it's not. Their comms campaigns work. We have none. Doesn't matter if we're right. We're still losing. So what do we change? That's all I'm saying. I have never disagreed w/ your point. I'm making a different one.

Sure? Bc the point I'm trying to make is about our side not "theirs." Yes, they're engaged in a systematic and successful campaign to undermine expertise, credibility, education, and science. And we sit in ivory towers assuming what we do is obvious.

But then he went on about using our extorted money to fund foreign wars and I'm like - dammit, you people always have .25% of a good point. #SoClose #NotNEARLYCLOSEENOUGH

I got sucked into a convo with a guy who calls taxes "evil extortion," and I'm deeply regretting my choices as I sit here in a super safe neighborhood with great schools and great services... paid for by taxes. #TFP

Sure, fair, fine. Can’t control “them.” Can only control “us.” So get better at communicating. Say what you will about KH, terrible communicator. Most scientists are too. It takes practice. And a little humility. Just sayin’

Needs to own its part in communicating more effectively to the public. There’s an arrogance in academia that assumes this is all obvious and it’s not. For most.

I’m making a broader point about communicating that science is a process, not a definitive result. Whether it’s Covid or anything else, scientists have never been good communicators about the try/fail process that is the method. No one else is going to do this for them. To some extent the community

Smear campaign, yes. Researchers/admins publicly advocating for value of their work, peer-review, and the scientific process? Not so much. I'm thinking of public health in particular/comms failures in the early days of COVID. There's a weird arrogance in academia that still stuff is self-evident.
