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.
