Science and Society: Science Communication Practice, Research, and Reflection
Science and Society: Science Communication Practice, Research, and Reflection
Session ID#: 122450
Session Description:
Science communication includes the efforts of natural, physical and social scientists, communications professionals, and teams that communicate the process and values of science and scientific findings to non-specialist audiences outside of formal educational settings. The goals of science communication can include enhanced dialogue, understanding, awareness, enthusiasm, improving decision making, or influencing behaviors. Channels can include in-person interaction, online, social media, mass media, or other methods. This session invites presentations by individuals and teams on science communication practice, research, and reflection, addressing questions like:
- What kind of communication efforts are you engaging in and how you are doing it?
- How is social science informing understandings of audiences, strategies, or effects?
- What are lessons learned from long-term communication efforts?
This session, run at both AGU and EGU, invites you to share your work and join a community of practice to inform and advance the effective communication of earth and space science.
