#ESOF2018 Bridging the gap between experts and the people: rethinking #scicomm with V Ramakrishnan, @MinuDTizabi, @AlainaGLevine @weitergen...
One problem we have is this explosion of knowledge, that needs to be curated between true, incertain and not true.
We need to re establish a trust system because it is not anymore scientists->journalists->public

V Ramakrishnan at #ESOF2018
What can we do to make sure we get engaged advocates? We need to make sure we understand our audience

There is a risk for scientists to communicate about topics that they are not specialists in. Because scientists ARE trusted by the public now. We don’t want this trust to be misplaced.

About the future of #ScienceJournalism: a concern for @AlainaGLevine because it is disappearing. And we need them.

V Ramakrishnan, @NobelPrize Laureate : outside of their field of expertise, scientists don’t know much better than any lay person. We should not trust scientists, but the scientific process.

When discussing possible incentives/value for scientists to engage with the public, a lot of scientists in the room (or the most vocal ones) feel that it is not their role to communicate with the public.

Hem, it looks like a lot still has to be done to debunk the #DeficitModel in terms of #scicomm amongst researchers
#esof2018
V Ramakrishnan: #scicomm should not be mandatory for scientists, but it certainly should be valued and not be detrimental for their career. They are funded by taxpayer money.
A lot of debates about whether or not emotions are important in #scicomm, and how they should be used or not manipulated.
I am quite surprised that results from science of #scicomm are not used. This a actually a field of science we are discussing!
#ESOF2018
Comment from the public: lots of talks about how scientists communicate, but not much about what information the public is interested in getting.
V Ramakrishnan: we can’t change the fact that flow is mainly unidirectional, scientists are generating knowledge
