I disagree. You’re a scientist with a relatively large following, and I think what you do is important and not ivory tower. Some scientists are ivory tower, other not. That’s separate from your very valid point that there aren’t enough scientists speaking up.

Sheer follower numbers create the ivory tower regardless of any intent. The more you have the more cut off you get from everyone else because there are simply too many notifications. It's the nature of the twitter beast.

There are notable exceptions like (I know, engineer, not scientist) Bill Nye, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. This is why a healthy dose of skepticism & peer review are always valuable.
