We're back with the first episode of season six (can you believe it!).

We kick off with a conversation with Julius Wesche about science communication and particularly social media. For science communication to work you need attention - but not all researchers with a minority background like the attention as it can draw focus on their personal characteristics etc. and steer the communication in a negative direction. How do we balance that?
That was the core issue of our conversation that took us far and wide. Julius is a researcher at Norwegian University of Science and Technology and runs the consultancy "Science Communication Accelarator" and the podcast of the same name.
Julius managed to turn the roles and asked us questions - like in all good conversations. We all learned something and we agree, that science communication is a necessity - we just have to figure out which channels to use, and have a support system to catch us if shit hits the fan.
