#SCIENCE: A Revolution in Science Communication
Last year, NASA made history and flew past Pluto for the very first time. The New Horizons spacecraft slowly streamed the first image of Pluto’s surface back to Earth - and NASA released it on Instagram. Science has gone viral, and as a result, we’re changing how we talk about, think about, and actually do science. National Geographic digital news director Laura Helmuth, NASA Goddard social media team lead Aries Keck, former Science digital strategist Meghna Sachdev, and Reddit r/science moderator Nathan Allen are here to talk about how social media is changing science and science communication, what that means, and why you should care.
