🧑‍🏫 Math is often very abstract and not relatable for students. Can we fix it? My latest post on @scicommbites.bsky.social
explores the concept of #math trails—guided explorations bringing math into the real world—and how they can boost #engagement with math.

🤝 The importance of #science #diplomacy — diplomatic mechanisms fostering scientific and technological cooperation or competition — is on the rise in the current geopolitical landscape. Why?

I discuss it a paper published in the Science @ KU Leuven newsletter 👇🏼

Though the vast majority of Americans believe in climate change, fear of perceived polarization creates a “spiral of silence” for Midwest farmers, causing them to avoid discussing the topic entirely. Read more in my latest for @scicommbites.bsky.social scicommbites.org/breaking-the...
Breaking the spiral of silence: Midwest farmer perspectives reveal need to make climate conversations palatable - SciCommBites
Many midwestern farmers in the US prefer to ignore conversations about climate, considering an extremely polarizing topic.

My first post on @scicommbites.bsky.social is live! 🎉 It summarizes a fascinating research paper by Aike Vonk et al. (2024), which explores the differences in framing and narratives in ocean climate change and plastic pollution 🌊

Double Trouble: Two Narratives in Ocean Science Communication - SciCommBites
Researchers find that plastic pollution is often framed as a health issue with social responsibility in press releases, while ocean climate change is mostly portrayed as a sociopolitical issue.
