The course introduces students to the main concepts of science communication, its historical role and development, and examines its application in the context of present-day culture, practice, and policy. It draws from the fields of natural science and social science, environmental studies, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies as well as art and design. By diving into the realms of science writing for articles and reports, oral presentations and narrative-based science communication, creative ways of research translation and science exhibiting, students will undertake substantial practice to expand their science communication skills.
