Sarah: One of the inherent things about the term ‘science communicator’ is its implication that scientists are pretty poor at talking about what they do. Tradition has it that most scientists work in relative seclusion, confined by necessity to the laboratories and institutions housing the equipment and peers in their chosen fields. That’s not to say that scientists don’t play sport, or join book clubs, or do cooking classes. It’s just that the details of their work and the implications of it are generally not aired for public discussion in these ‘non-scientific’ environments. When scientists communicate with each other, they discuss the minutiae of experimental procedures with staff and students over the laboratory bench, they present seminars on ”work in progress’ to peers in their departments, and they join journal clubs to informally discuss newly published work from other laboratories.
At least that’s what the grown-up scientists do. But what do you think? About these ads Like this: Making sense of science: introducing the Google Science Communication Fellows. In an effort to foster a more open, transparent and accessible scientific dialogue, we’ve started a new effort aimed at inspiring pioneering use of technology, new media and computational thinking in the communication of science to diverse audiences. Initially, we’ll focus on communicating the science on climate change. We’re kicking off this effort by naming 21 Google Science Communication Fellows.
These fellows were elected from a pool of applicants of early to mid-career Ph.D. scientists nominated by leaders in climate change research and science-based institutions across the U.S. It was hard to choose just 21 fellows from such an impressive pool of scientists; ultimately, we chose scientists who had the strongest potential to become excellent communicators.
