I also actively try to use alternative outputs to communicate my research, such as contributing to a blog (conspriacypsychology.com, >362k views) and commissioning artists to draw my research (see below). Thanks to I’m a Scientist for supporting this. With colleagues, I also developed the Kitchen Conspiracy, an outreach exhibit to introduce conspiracy theories.
