Hi!👋Here are some ways we can speed up science with #UXDesign Let's Make Science User Friendly: piped.video/watch?v=WBjhxjWD… #betterposter v1: piped.video/1RwJbhkCA58 v2: piped.video/SYk29tnxASs #TwitterPoster piped.video/watch?v=fQDL8r3r… Coming soon: #virtualposter

Hand painted artisanal science posters should be the new craze.

I do!

We're still looking for #volunteer reviewers for the Impact Scholars Program! ~5 hrs/week, fully remote, 3-18 Sept. Open to PhD students w some review experience, postdocs, faculty, research scientists, & industry researchers. Sign up by 11 August: buff.ly/irSz5Z0

Fighting over authorship order is so 1800s. Let's build an IMDB for science with CRediT Roles: piped.video/Sq0710DfvMw

Can we make ePoster presentations actually readable at a distance? Conferences are (happily) starting to let you use slides and/or zoom-in. Watch for good/bad examples: piped.video/YJGEgv_jPqE

Ever had to scroll up in a scientific article to find where some abbereviation was defined like Jargon Word (JW)? No more! piped.video/E_0yEzIM5ac

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread. Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take. #Hantavirus

Sci-Hub, the evil website that pirated 88M+ research papers and made them freely available has added another evil feature. If you run a DOI and open a paper, Sci-Hub can give you similar and related papers. Click on the three horizontal dots or the arrow and it will show you similar papers. Don't do it.

@curvenote is a publishing platform built around the same concept. Imagine a radiology journal where you can interactively scan through the slices of an MRI instead of looking at a pixelated, static image.

First in our two-day mini-series of virtual posters, find out how a community-integrated intervention in Malakal, South Sudan, overcame a lack of toys and limited space to assist severely malnourished children’s recovery through psychostimulation including play.

J Piper at @ZvitamboZim et al wanted to know how to measure school-age mental health and resilience in rural Zimbabwe, and tested child mental health and resilience scales to find out. See the promising results here.

MSF/Doctors without borders sharing their science in some fantastic GIF #TwitterPosters!

#NeurIPS2025 poster ✅ Catch me at @NeurIPSConf next week — poster #1014, Thursday morning to hear about why we should chart the Model Atlas🗺️ We're also organizing a small, informal “grab a drink” meetup for anyone into weight-space learning & model populations — stay tuned👀

Play a little game and choose the right icon for each role in science. Play our CRediT Roles icon game/survey, and help make scientific authorship clearer and more accessible! creditsurvey.sciux.org/ #OpenScience #ScienceUX

PSA: Last week, Affinity Studio (major Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop alternative) went completely 'free forever'. This makes pro-grade design software accessible to PhD students. affinity.studio/graphic-desi… I suspect they're just using new owner Canva's mountain of cash to obliterate Adobe's market share in one swing, but...I'm okay with that?

Help us improve the design scientific presentation slides. Go through some example slides in our study: 🙏 nimble.li/p9lxzlz9 As a bonus, you get to learn some random facts. #scienceUX

Which slide designs work best, scientifically? Help us figure it out! Need a LOT of people to take this survey to get some answers: 🙏 nimble.li/p9lxzlz9 #scienceUX @NolanHaims
