Definition

  • Science communication generally refers to public communication presenting science-related topics to nonexperts. This can involve developing communication skills in scientists or developing science skills in professional communicators, but the blending of the two abilities can help communicate either an understanding of the scientific process or specific knowledge about an important or relevant scientific discovery.
