There are plenty of stories about how social media can be used to popularize misinformation and create division. This week we’re taking a different approach and highlighting someone that is doing some great science communication on social media. Combining her passion for art with a talent for explaining science, Dr. Jen Ma (https://www.jenma.co/) has created Gentle Facts (https://www.gentlefacts.com/). This week, we talk to Jen about her work and her journey to compassionate science communication.
We also talk about how social media can be used to popularize misinformation and create division…and CRISPR!
