Preferred term

communicating science to children  

Definition

  • Children are at the center of some of the most controversial topics in science communication. Science, health, and technology news stories often carry images of children—on topics ranging from vaccinations to climate change, nutrition, genetics, or digital media—and yet the audience for such reporting tends to be decidedly grown up.
