#NaWik#WissKon25#KI

First day of a conference on #ScienceComm and social media at HumLab in Umeå, featuring @simonlindgren and @cfiesler, among others.

Lots of great stuff, such as @cfiesler's suggestion to write short blogs about one's own papers, both for outreach and for busy colleagues.

As I don't have a blog, I'm thinking of using Mastodon for that (I couldn't find two-way integrated macroblogging for the Fediverse), linking the threads on my website.

It would be nice to hear alternative ideas, though!

... jedes Video wird durch unser AV-Portal unter Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz und maschinellen Lernens von A bis Z durchanalysiert - die Videos werden zum Beispiel minutengenau mit Schlagworten versehen, die aus Wort-, Schrift- und Bildanalyse des Videos erzeugt werden. Zudem wird der gesamte Sprechtext automatisch verschriftlicht und dadurch leicht durchsuchbar.

Cool, accessible article over at #Aeon about the strangeness and complexity of atoms and their components, and how the popular idea that atoms are mostly empty space is problematic.
(The author mentions an episode of Cosmos in which Sagan says that, and which I remember vividly despite the decades in between)

AeonWhy the empty atom picture misunderstands quantum theory | Aeon EssaysThe concept of the atomic void is one of the most repeated mistakes in popular science. Molecules are packed with stuff

Currently reading another book on quantum physics that I can’t recommend to my father because it’s full of references to memes that he won’t get, and will find either silly or confusing. Not the first time.

Something to consider when you are writing a pop sci book and you are trying to make it accessible to all.

This needs hashtags, any suggestions?
