Science Communication for Scientists

Linking Strategy with Creativity, Practice, and Respect

About this book

Grounded in strategic thinking and social science research, this textbook empowers students to confidently navigate skillful and effective science communication.

Developed by leading science, health, and risk communication scholars, the book provides a clear, research-informed approach to communicating with audiences across the scientific community and broader society. Readers explore how to put theory into practice through classroom-tested activities, international real-world examples, and thoughtful practice-oriented assignments. These tools help students to create audience-centered communication strategies, build habits of ethical and intentional engagement, and engage with a wide range of audiences, ultimately developing greater alignment between science and society. It prepares students to be more effective communicators and works to define science communication education by integrating practice with evidence and reflection.

This text is ideal for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields and is an essential resource for the next generation of science communicators.

Online resources such as training activities, further reading, videos, and a test bank are available at www.routledge.com/9781032797335.
