Science communication and public engagement

Science communication

Science is an integral part of our lives as it prevails in all facets. Accurately interpreted health science news helps us make better choices pertaining to the food we eat, medicines we take and self-care we adapt ourselves to. The act of communicating science news to the public is just beyond translating jargon-laden terminology into language the lay man understands. Rather, understanding the interconnectedness of all the elements of science, interpretation and appropriate presentation to the end users is what makes science communication the most effective.

The goals of science communication are accomplished only when there are comprehensive and meaningful interactions between scientists and the audiences in order to get acquainted with various views and perspectives. Public or audience in this context may refer to funding agencies, peer reviewers, media, policy makers and general public. Thus science communication is always considered  and expected to be two-way transmission of knowledge – from scientists to audiences and vice versa.

Science Communication and Public Engagement

Public engagement ensures transparency in practices and facilitates informed consent among stakeholders. Moreover it provides a practical platform for the audience to combine their views with scientific know-how and thus together address challenges facing the society and scientific community giving a relevance to their work.

The fields of science communication and public engagement are currently witnessing exceptional growth owing to the need to develop scientific temper in the public and inculcate the habit of very closely following science and technology. This led to the generation of many job opportunities in scientific writing and medical journalism. Medical writers and scientific writers may get placed in pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, contract research organizations (CROs), medical communications companies, healthcare newspapers, magazines and websites. In addition to this, they may also work on freelancing basis for one or more organizations. There are many training programs being provided online in these fields to help you understand various science communication and public engagement principles and methodologies at industry level.
