Two #SciComm communities I want to highlight:
1. @sciencetalkorg.bsky.social, which is more than a conference. Paid membership gets you access to online forums, digital events, and more
2. SciCommUnity NYC, which is planning some meetups in 2026: www.linkedin.com/company/scic...
Thank you for the highlight, Virginia! We know we have a lot of work to do to meet the needs of the SciComm community. Every bit of help matters!
