Communication of Science: Practice, Research, and Reflection II eLightning
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 63015
Session Description:
Do you consider yourself a science communicator? Does your research group or institution participate in public engagement activities? Have you ever evaluated or published your education, outreach or engagement efforts?
Scientists communicate to non-peer audiences through numerous pathways including websites, blogs, public lectures, media interviews, and educational and research collaborations. A considerable amount of time and money is invested in these engagement activities and these efforts are to a large extent responsible for the public perception of science. However, few opportunities and incentives exist for researchers to optimize their communication practices to ensure effective engagement. This session, run at both AGU and EGU, encourages critical reflection on science communication practices and provides an opportunity for science communicators to share best practice and experiences with evaluation and research in this field.
