We scientists need to up our game in communicating what we do as it helps to be able to describe your work lucidly to reviewers and the public. But professional science communicators need to come to the forefront too. What is happening in the USA is undermining all the good that you do.

James Butcher of Journalology ran a massive overview of the last 25 years of publishing to identify trends.

The rise of China, publisher consolidation, the dominance of the Altmetric account on Bluesky - it’s all there! Apart from that last thing.
