Hi all, an #introduction post! I’m in #Germany, from the US, studying #PublicPolicy and interested in #RenewableEnergy and the #EnergyTransition (esp. #CriticalMinerals). Hoping to meet interesting people here…und mein Deutsch zu verbessern (ich habe fast B2).
I am a #writer (esp. #ScienceWriting but also a #novelist) and do #photography and #archery. #Harvard class of something (I am not old but…let’s not say how long ago this was). Big fan of coffee.

@eleanorkonik The challenge of crafting story to plausibly impress those lessons into / onto doubting or closed minds.

Decent fiction writers spend years on a single piece. They expand a small idea outward to a story.

Scientists spend years learning science, then condense domains, render abstract to idea, and only then, expand to well told prose. Whew!

I fantasize a story - a post grad science writing residency program. Residents given opportunity to build storytelling skills.

Wisdom from @StephenBHeard :

"Yes, I’m better than I once was; it’s hard not to improve over a long career. But that really means that instead of awful first drafts moving through mediocre fifth drafts to half-decent tenth drafts, I now have mediocre first drafts becoming half-decent fifth drafts. Along the way, my writing still benefits hugely from peer review and from editing. Everyone’s does."

Are you a #PhD student and want to write your first paper?

Below I quote the paragraphs that I loved the most from the article in ACS Phys. Chem. Au:

1. "You might be in the fortunate situation of having a mentor who is training you in this process or even formal courses as part of your studies. But even if you do not, there is nothing to worry about─there are many resources available to help you get started."

I'm inspired by the #SkyIslands of southern Arizona and northern Sonora. They're literally islands, and a giant laboratory for the study of evolution. The hashtag is in my profile so it's about time I wrote about them! Looking forward to more, and hoping to get directly involved in research somehow. Maybe I can be a volunteer bug collector?

Busy day today - I'm back on RNZ in a couple of hours to talk about three big bits of science news. Then I need to hop in my car and drive to Palmy, where I'm giving a talk to highschoolers in the afternoon. After a very quick dinner, I'll be taking part in a free, public event with Massey University & Palmerston North City Library. Fingers crossed it all goes well! #scicomm #science #sciencewriting

I want to share my go-to resource for science writing.

Angelika H. Hofmann's Scientific Writing and Communication.

Whenever I get stuck on a section, I read her relevant chapter and it just makes writing so much easier! For example, I'm writing the Discussion section, she lays out what should go where and why, talks about common mistakes, and then provides a handy little checklist. So clear!!

What are your favs for #sciencewriting #sciencecommunication #PiLife #AcademicChatter ?

I'm glad I read this before I was also about to mention the magical talking #tree network in something I'm #writing. Apparently mycorrhizal networks aren't as all-important to trees as we've heard in the last few years.

"Journalists told emotional, persuasive, and seductive stories about the wood-wide web, amplifying the speculations of a few scientists through powerful storytelling. (...) Fantasy moved to the foreground, facts to the back."
