[LTER-commcom] Fwd: Communicating Science Effectively - Join The Public Discussion

[Marty Downs]

National Academies has a new report out on a research agenda for
effectively communicating science, that I thought you might be interested
in (see below).

A public discussion is scheduled (in Washington) for January 10 at 11 am
Eastern. It will be webcast and I'm planning to watch, but if there's
broader interest, maybe we can put a group viewing/discussion together.

Cheers,
Marty

We have a couple of major announcements for those interested in science
communication: a new report, *Communicating Science Effectively*, released
today, and a public discussion on January 10th.

*Communicating Science Effectively* proposes a research agenda to help
science communicators and researchers identify effective methods of
communicating science, particularly when the issues are contentious. It's now
available to download or pre-order

.

In January, we're inviting you to take part in a discussion about
communicating science using evidence-based approaches. It will take place
on the 10th at the Keck Center in Washington, DC. You can register to
attend in person, or watch live via the webcast.

Science and technology are embedded in virtually every aspect of modern
life. As a result, people face an increasing need to integrate information
from science with their personal values and other considerations as they
make important life decisions about medical care, the safety of foods, what
to do about climate change, and many other issues. Communicating science
effectively, however, is a complex task and an acquired skill. Moreover,
the approaches to communicating science that will be ...
