| Scientists in all fields are more and more often expected to perform public outreach on matters ranging from research funding to assisting policymakers in taking decisions. In doing this, they face challenges. Challenges range from being clear, convincing, accurate, and, at the same time, engaging. Academic researchers play an essential role in allowing policymakers to develop and properly assess science policy options, speaking to the media, and contributing to the improvement of public’s critical thinking. If advised and coached appropriately they can engage in a true dialogue that enhances mutual understanding between academia and the public. For more details, see the abstract. | |
