Handbook for Science Public Information Officers

摘要

If the burgeoning academic offerings in science communication are any indication, the field of professional science communication is growing. Certainly the need for professional communicators conversant in both understanding science and shaping the content for diverse audiences is recognized, whether or not the phrase 'science communication' appears in a job description. Amid the flood of new technologies affecting us at both personal and societal levels, and the global impacts of phenomena such as antibiotic resistance, climate change, and artificial intelligence, the ability to critically assess scientific information is crucial. This book is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of science communicators.
