    Scicomm Journal Club Podcast - E24 - Should scientists warm up towards pre-prints. What is their role in scicomm?

    In this episode, we discuss the ever-growing interest in pre-prints. What are they, why do they exist, who uses them and for what.  We are joined by a guest - the author of the paper we discuss in the podcast and the Twitter chat (https://twitter.com/i/events/1402484698169765888?s=20) - Johnny Coats. You can read the paper he and his collaborators wrote on the role of pre-prints in the dissemination of COVID-19 research for free in the journal PLOS One here (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000959). Connect with Johnny on Twitter (https://twitter.com/JACoates). Follow the SciComm_JC account on Twitter (https://twitter.com/scicomm_jc) for more chats on scicomm topics and other events.

    In this episode, we welcome a guest, who is a poet (the BBC said so!) and a scientist - Dr Sam Illingworth. We talk about how powerful poetry is as a conversation starter, as an expression, as a bonding and outreach mechanism for science.  We covered (half) of his paper Creative communication – using poetry and games to generate dialogue between scientists and nonscientists in a Twitter Chat. The paper can be found here. The Moments from the chat are here. Follow Sam on Twitter @samillingworth, on his blog The Poetry of Science and the Podcast with the same title. The poem you hear in the beginning of the episode is written and read by Sam. Hear about the research that inspired it here. Follow us @SciComm_JC and visit our website.
