What is science communication?
Science communication is an incredibly diverse and dynamic field. It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But at its core, it focuses on how to help support the relationship between science and society. With the increased rise in misinformation, disinformation, and polarization, knowing how to effectively communicate science has never been more important.
