Should we be asking, 'What does AI standardise?' in addition to 'What does AI automate?'

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
AI is often sold as perfect solutions to the "problem" of having to create captions and transcripts. That framing, of course, centers creators and producers over the people who actually rely upon the captions and transcripts. But there is no replacement for humans when making content accessible.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and useless, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.

A common question about alt text is whether or not it's appropriate to mention attributes like race or skin tone. A common response is, "It depends." In this post, Tolu Adegbite explains how race can be relevant and important in providing context.

To reduce the cognitive load in data visualizations, directly label your data rather than using legends. This helps colorblind or visually impaired users. It also decreases the work of scanning back and forth trying to match the legend with the data.

“Resources to learn more about evidence-based design for scientists.” It lists links to the ScienceUX website, ScienceUX on Reddit, and videos about the #BetterPoster movement. Below the text, there’s a cartoon illustration of a person gesturing excitedly toward a large screen displaying a colorful chart. At the bottom, there’s a thank-you note to contributors: ScienceUX, Mike Morrison, Rieke Schäfer, and Muriah Umoquit.

Transcribed Text from Image: Invest time in defining key objectives. Define your goals and objectives. What do you want to achieve with your dissemination activities? Consider whether you are trying to simply share knowledge, shift an attitude, change a behaviour etc OBJECTIVES Image Description: The image is a colourful cartoon-style illustration featuring people in a work or presentation setting. A large screen shows the word “OBJECTIVES” at the top, along with a circular chart and an giant pencil pointing toward the centre, reminiscent of a target. One person in a turban is pointing at the screen talking, while another stands with folded arms and listens intently. At the bottom, a person at a desk appears to be thinking while using a mouse, and another person is surrounded by different styles of charts. The person has pinpointed one chart using a pencil. a light bulb surrounded by a flash emanates from the chart, symbolising ideas. Small icons near the main image show an eye, a megaphone, a thumbs-up, and a thumbs down, and a speech bubbl containing a graph, representing communication and goal-setting themes. The overall theme emphasises definin objectives and goals clearly before starting dissemination or communication activities.
The first of the 7 steps of research dissemination: define your goals and objectives. What do you want to achieve?

I love this! Great work!
Center text: RESEARCH DISSEMINATION Surrounding sections (clockwise): MESSAGES PRODUCTS PLATFORMS RESOURCES EVALUATE RESTART OBJECTIVES AUDIENCES jbi.global Image Description: The image is a colourful circular diagram labeled "Research Dissemination" at the centre. Around it are 8 connected sections with titles: "Objectives," "Audiences," "Messages," "Products," "Platforms," "Resources," "Evaluate," and "Restart." Each section has small icons that represent its theme (e.g., envelopes for messages, charts for evaluation). Around the circle are cartoon-style illustrations of diverse people engaging in research, presenting data, and discussing ideas.

A female healthcare professional wearing a beige hijab and a stethoscope around her neck pictured. "Collaborative knowledge sharing is essential for equitable, evidence-based healthcare." Logo top-right reads "World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day 2025" and the image credits the submission to Heather McCulloch, Australia.
Heather McCulloch from JBI invites us to consider the role of #CitizenScience in fostering collaborative knowledge communication, exploring how individuals can contribute to shared knowledge creation for more inclusive & equitable #EBHC policy & practice. https://ow.ly/WINo50WOUn6 #WorldEBHCDay

How do we improve citizen science? I'm presenting at the Australian Citizen Science Association conference about how we co-created 10 recommendations with researchers and the public.

Backdrop shows chinese fishing nets at purple twilight, Kochi, India. Also known as cheena vala, these giant structures are cantilevered, using counterweights and pulleys to lower and raise large fishing nets into the water. These nets have become a symbol of Kochi.

There's a different theme each year for World EBHC Day. For example, last year's theme highlighted the need for intersectoral collaboration to address the polycrisis - the interrelated and complex global challenges which threaten public health.
Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")
The image shows several stylised, colourful silhouettes of human faces facing each other on both sides of the picture, with multiple speech bubbles of different colours in the space between them. The design suggests communication, collaboration, and exchange of ideas in a visually engaging and inclusive manner.
To mark #MentalHealth Awareness month, we share a story of hope that comes out of the #HAB devastating #MarineLife in Australia. “Communities became the storytellers, scientists, and sentinels, sharing what they saw and what they knew."
