❎ #16 How to incentivize and increase the appreciation of scicomm

<p>Science communication is severely hampered because the incentive system &nbsp;in research organizations and universities is too often based solely on &nbsp;the number of published papers and citations. A key to encourage science &nbsp;communication could therefore be to increase appreciation for science &nbsp;communication and anchor it in the academic incentive system. In this &nbsp;episode, I discuss how this can be done with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#">Markus Weißkopf</a>. Markus is the managing director of <a href="https://www.wissenschaft-im-dialog.de/">Wissenschaft im Dialog</a> (ca. 60 employees), which is a key promoter of science communication in the German higher education system.</p> <p>--&nbsp;</p> <p>The Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly and share more science on social media. To do so, the podcast aims to create a knowledge hub for digital science communication by publishing engaging and inspiring episodes with experts in the field of social media and science communication.
