Learning how to apologize when called out (or in) is a skill that everyone needs to practice. Often our first gut reaction is to get defensive or explain. But hurt is hurt regardless of your intention. Pause, breathe, and try this instead.
lizandmollie@lizandmollie14 Oct 2019
A great apology contains three things: 1) an acknowledgment of what happened, 2) an actual apology, and 3) what you'll do differently in the future.

I'm tired of seeing #scicomm advice that amounts to "better storytelling", "better sharing ideas", and "better dissemination" but never includes "better listening".
