- ❎ #16 How to incentivize and increase the appreciation of scicomm
Science communication is severely hampered because the incentive system in research organizations and universities is too often based solely on the number of published papers and citations. A key to encourage science communication could therefore be to increase appreciation for science communication and anchor it in the academic incentive system. In this episode, I discuss how this can be done with Markus Weißkopf. Markus is the managing director of Wissenschaft im Dialog (ca. 60 employees), which is a key promoter of science communication in the German higher education system.

- ❎ #14 Engaging the Disengaged (with Dr. Haydon Mort)„When engaging the disengaged, what I mean is engaging the majority“. This is how today’s guest Haydon describes his work as a science communicator in the earth sciences field. Who are the disengaged and how can we catch their attention? If you are interested in answers to these questions, then this episode is for you.You can find Haydon on Instagram, Linkedin, and through his webpage.In the episode we come across a video in which that Haydon describes what famous actor and wrestler Dwayne (the Rock) Johnson has to do with geology.

- ❎ #13 Science Storytellig (with Josh Ettinger)Storytelling is an ancient art form and can be described as the social an cultural activity of sharing stories to audiences. Using storytelling elements in presenting the research process and research results can make research more accessible and give a human face to science.In order to learn more about science communication storytelling I invited Josh Ettinger to the scicomX Podcast. Josh is a PhD student at the University of Oxford where he analyses the communication around strong weather events. Next to his work as a PhD he also gives storytelling workshops to researchers, research organizations and firms. He caught my attention, because he has co-authored a correspondence in Nature on how science communication and storytelling can be great allies and how they can support each other.

- ❎ #12 How to visualize scientific data? (with Martins Zaumanis)There are four formats how to communicate information: written, audio, video, and visualizations. In this episode I look together with Martins Zaumanis at how researchers and organizations can create appealing visualizations that are easy to understand and that attract attention.Check out the second part of the podcast to get some hands-on tips. Here Martins shares 8 steps for you to step up your visualization game.Please check out Martins’ book “Research Data Visualization and Scientific Graphics” if our are up for a deep dive.

- ❎ #11 TIKTOK and Science Comunication (with Andy Miah)While TIKTOK still has a reputation of being a teenage dancing app it has evolved substantially over the last couple of years. In 2020 it surpassed two billion downloads and it also recently surpassed YouTube in viewing time per user. It is high time to look at TIKTOK. In order to learn about TIKTOK, I invited Prof. Andy Miah to the podcast. Andy has a chair in Science Communication and Future Media at Salford University (UK). And he is an avid TIKTOK user. We recorded this session in between other meetings. For this reason, it got shorter than the previous episodes of the podcast. However, this might actually be quite fitting for a social network that actually revolutionized short content.You find Andy pretty much on all social networks. However you could start by checking him out on Twitter (@andymiah) or have a look at his webpage: https://andymiah.net/---The Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly and share more science on social media.

- ❎ #10 Social Audio - How to use Clubhouse & Twitter Spaces for SciComm (with Stephanie Castillo)Not even a year ago a new audio only smart phone app made big waves. Its name was clubhouse and suddenly every entrepreneur and political actor who had an iPhone had to have an account. Social Audio had taken the stage. Now a year later, clubhouse has gotten a lot of competition for example Twitter Spaces, Spotify Greenroom, and Facebook Live Audio Rooms to only name a few. While the first big wave has passed, social audio is still a great way to build up relationships with a following online at a low threshold.In this episode I am joined by science communicator and scicomm PhD student Stephanie Castillo, who was among the first ones to actually use Clubhouse for doing and talking about science communication. When you listen to this episode you will learn what social audio is and how it can be used for science communication.

- ❎ #8 YouTube, Animation, & Science Communication (with Lizzy Steib from Kurzgesagt - in a Nutshell)YouTube is one of the major content platforms for video. Videos are great to create engaging content around scientific topics, but oftentimes science evolves around things and processes that can hardly or not be filmed. Animation is a means to nevertheless help to create knowledge around these topics. In order to understand YouTube and animation better I invited Lizzy Steib to the scicomX podcast. Lizzy is the head of research at Kurzgesagt - in a Nutshell, which is among the largest if not the largest YouTube science channel out there.You find Lizzy on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elisabeth-steib-43b699168/) and on Twitter (@lizzy_steib)You find Kurzgesagt on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/inanutshell) and their webpage (https://kurzgesagt.org/)---The Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly and share more science on social media.

- ❎ #7 Linkedin – How to communicate science on a business platform? (with Mike Young)Initially started as a business platform to share CVs, Linkedin has grown into a fully fledged social media network. It is regularly used by researchers and scientists to share knowledge, build networks and find industry partners to collaborate with.To get grips on the platform I invited Mike Young to the Science Communication Accelerator Podcast. Mike is based in Copenhagen and trains researchers how to successfully use Linkedin and Twitter.Mike suggests that there are three key functions for scientists when using Linkedin. These are sharing science, networking, and ideation. While the first two are pretty straight forward to understand, ideation was a new term for me. What Mike means with ideation is the constructive process of creating and co-developing ideas by interacting with other members on the platform. I had a lot of fun producing this episode with Mike. He is a real integer and supportive guy to talk to.Here you find Mike:Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkeyoung/Twitter - https://twitter.com/MkeYoungWebpage - http://mikeyoungacademy.dk/---The Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly and share more science on social media.
