Communicating science

摘要

Take one scientist. Blend in professional science communicators. Incubate in crisp mountain air. The result: an ability and a desire to discuss science with all sorts of audiences.rnTwo months ago I'd never made a film, designed a website or written a science news piece. By the end of August I'd had a major part in all three. How? I was fortunate to participate in an intensive two-week science-communication programme at the Banff Centre, a crucible of literary and performance art nestled in the RockyrnMountains of Alberta, Canada.
