Government, and the news media continually grapple with myriad policy issues related to science and technology. Those issues include global warming, energy, stem-cell research, health care childhood autism, food safety, and genetics, to name but a few, When the public is informed on such topics, chances improve for reasoned policy decisions. Journalists have typically bridged the gap between scientists and the public, but the times now call for more engagement from the experts. The authors and engineers should shake off their ivory-tower reticence and take science to the people." "Taking Science to the People calls on scientists and engineers to polish their writing and Speaking skills in order to communicate more clearly about their work to the public, policy makers, and reporters who cover science. The authors represent a range of experience and authority, including distinguished scientists who write well about science, federal official who communicate to Congress about science and science journalists who weigh in with their own expertise, In this long-overdue volume, scientists, engineers, and journalists will find both a convincing rationale for communicating well about science and many practical methods for doing so"--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Communication in science|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008101314 650 0 Science|xSocial aspects|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008111301 650 0 Science and state|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008111281 650 7 Communication in science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/870268 650 7 Science|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1108360 650 7 Science and state.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108536 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Johnsen, Carolyn,|d1944-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2002156171 711 2 Communicating Science to Broader Audiences Conference |d(2007 :|cUniversity of Nebraska--Lincoln) 776 08 |iPrint version:|tTaking science to the people.|dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, ©2010|z9780803220522|w(DLC) 2010009017|w(OCoLC)555650075 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=354592|zOnline eBook.
