I don't know about "STEM Influencers", but in this age of rampant misinformation, we NEED science communicators in as many formats as possible to reach as many people as possible!

I'd rather too many than not enough.

I learned more from “STEM influencers” than I had from classroom educators. And it was much more enjoyable and easier to understand.

I don't know about STEM, but Youtube appears to employ more philosophy PHDs than any dozen universities.

Beats being a conspiracy theorist. I would be a science communicator any day of the week, over being insane.

Stellerarts, aka Dr. Laci Brock, makes cool art on Instagram.

And this was a real retort she made and told us about a while back. Lmao

"imagine getting a science education only to share the gift of knowledge with thousands of people worldwide" -this loser

Stem influencer? I believe Botanists call it something else.

Imagine you being so shallow that you think other people's honest work makes them unworthy...

Yeah im def on the side of science communicators. Make real info accessible and fun especially for younguns.

Place the hate where it is deserved, like being the “doctor” that denies health insurance claims or the executive at a big pharma company.

Sounds like the dream to me - no more funding applications!

He's got a point... I didn't spend this long in school in order to treat people who know less than I do without contempt.

Or “Tunnel Enthusiast”

Sounds like a dream to me, tbh. Imagine becoming, say, a physicist only to end up being a code monkey for IBM waiting for your AI replacement only to wait for you eventual re-hire for less pay because the AI sucks ass.
