Together to discuss #scicomm gaps and needs inside governance structures, besides addressing ethical issues in scicomm.

I'm reminded almost daily of this panel from a comic I made with @scicommsuwe.bsky.social @rikworth.bsky.social & @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social about the challenges of being a science journalist in the UK and India.

Full comic here: www.sciencemediacentre.in/exploring-sc...
Illustration of a young woman in casual attire struggling to squeeze through a crowd of besuited corporate looking men laughing saying things like "Got another AI pitch, boss!" "Billionaire Space Race Part 10!" "*scoffs!* I was like, completely, proton'd, yah?" "Yaah, yaah, yaah" (a la Bob Mortimer's obnoxious "Train Guy" routine)
