@ionica so as a scientist myself, in my opinion the thing that we really wish science communicators would stick with is actually communicating the science.

Maybe that's the first rule? Either way, it's very much not being followed.

So many of us are so frustrated because we find science communicators communicating things that are literally the opposite of what we have found, and that is just... It's infuriating.

I really think we need to stick with the first rule of science communicating should be to communicate the science, and we need to just keep repeating that first rule until it actually sticks.

I don't care what somebody is deeply interested in exploring if they are misreporting science.

This is people's entire reason for working and living that is being misreported, and until we get that straight, I just don't think anything else is priority.
