Take the short survey (click the link above) … when you are looking for information about a science topic, where do you go? And, which source/tool do you trust the most?
Much of our day-to-day society–globally–is based on the fruits and sometimes the hard lessons of scientific research. The things we can do on a daily basis, the foods we eat, the tools we have available to us, the ways we can communicate, the ways we travel, the ways we work, the ways we reproduce, and on and on … literally our entire lives (and even the ends of our lives) are all made available to us through scientific research.
Yet, at a time when the world grapples with the sober realities of increasing climate change, when diseases thought controlled once again spread across countries and kill thousands, when the short-term view gains ascendancy among the power class, when people need to really understand challenges and options, then the communication of science needs to be as clear and straightforward as possible … and people likewise need to make extra effort to look behind the headlines and really understand the issues, the options, and the trade-offs.
Please take the survey and help us to understand the paths and preferences of the communication of science information. Thank you!
