Using geolocated tweets, we compare the Twitter use of scientists who attended the conference with those who did not. Combining automated, quantitative, and qualitative content analysis, the study shows how scientists participating in the conference provided live reporting and formed a transnational network. Scientists at the conference and elsewhere engaged in political advocacy, indicating a shift toward a new pattern of hybrid science communication, which includes characteristics that have formerly been attributed to journalism and advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"207\" height=\"75\" src=\"http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IJOC.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Walter, Stefanie; De Silva-Schmidt, Fenja; Br\u00fcggemann, Michael (2017): From \u201cKnowledge Brokers\u201d to Opinion Makers.
