Abstract:
This paper summarizes key findings from a web-based questionnaire survey among Danish scientists in the natural sciences and engineering science. In line with the Act on Universities of 2003 enforcing science communication as a university obligation next to research and teaching, the respondents take a keen interest in communicating science, especially through the news media. However, they also do have mixed feeling about the quality of science communication in the news. Moreover, a majority of the respondents would like to give higher priority to science communication. More than half reply that they are willing to allocate up to 2% of total research funding in Denmark to science communication. Further, the respondents indicate that they would welcome a wider variety of science communication initiatives aimed at many types of target groups. They do not see the news media as the one and only channel for current science communication.

Abstract:
This commentary demonstrates the relevance of James Carey’s ritual view of communication for the field of science communication. A ritual view of communication invites examination of the geographical, historical, and material dimensions of communication where dialogues, bodies, public spaces, and comestibles provide enabling conditions for democratic engagement. This is an opportune time for science communications scholars to engage with Carey’s ideas as the field moves from deficit accounts of communication to the dialogic and cultural models that have become more prevalent in recent decades. A ritual view highlights the importance of theoretical, humanist approaches as complements to empirical, instrumental accounts of science communication.

Abstract:
Effective science communication requires assembling scientists with knowledge relevant to decision makers, translating that knowledge into useful terms, establishing trusted two-way communication channels, evaluating the process, and refining it as needed. Communicating Science Effectively: A Research Agenda [National Research Council (2017)] surveys the scientific foundations for accomplishing these tasks, the research agenda for improving them, and the essential collaborative relations with decision makers and communication professionals. Recognizing the complexity of the science, the decisions, and the communication processes, the report calls for a systems approach. This perspective offers an approach to creating such systems by adapting scientific methods to the practical constraints of science communication. It considers staffing (are the right people involved?), internal collaboration (are they talking to one another?), and external collaboration (are they talking to other stakeholders?). It focuses on contexts where the goal of science communication is helping people to make autonomous choices rather than promoting specific behaviors (e.g., voter turnout, vaccination rates, energy consumption). The approach is illustrated with research in two domains: decisions about preventing sexual assault and responding to pandemic disease.

Abstract:

Though eating disorders are a serious public health threat, misinformation about these potentially deadly diseases is widespread. This study examines eating disorder information from a wide variety of sources including medical journals, news reports, and popular social activist authors. Examples of misinformation were identified, and three aspects of eating disorders (prevalence, mortality, and etiology) were chosen as key indicators of scientific illiteracy about those illnesses. A case study approach was then adopted to trace examples of misinformation to their original sources whenever possible. A dozen examples include best-selling books, national eating disorder information clearinghouses; the news media; documentary feature films; and a PBS television Nova documentary program. The results provide an overview of the ways in which valid information becomes flawed, including poor journalism, lack of fact-checking, plagiarism, and typographical errors. Less obvious—and perhaps even more important—much of the misinformation results from scientific research being co-opted to promote specific sociopolitical agendas. These results highlight a significant gap in science communication between researchers, the medical community, and the public regarding these diseases, and recommendations to address the problem are offered.

Abstract:
In this sub-thesis I introduce the idea of Reality Science. Reality science involves the telling of personal stories, such as with autobiography, biography, mentoring, documentaries, profiles and public lectures. The importance of reality science in shaping positive stereotypes and perceptions of science is discussed and ways of approaching reality science is given. Reality science can be used to encourage, inspire and inform people of the various roles scientists play and the diversity of science, breaking down stereotypes and normalising science and scientists. Reality science gives us insight into the minds of the scientists and the nature of the science. They inspire people, inform people and create controversy. Reality science is a tool the contemporary scientist can use to encourage new scientists into their field, inform the public about their research in a less typically scientific manner, and inspire their colleagues to do the same. Reality science can contribute to creating a more accurate public perception of science, as more and more realities will create more relevant stereotypes and bridge the gap by creating dialogues; dialogues between author and audience, and between third parties, depending on the type of reality science used. To demonstrate reality science, an artefact is included. This artefact is in the form of a book, and is entitled Colours of the South. This shows how reality science can be used to break down barriers, create new perceptions and encourage engagement with science.

Mason-Wilkes, Will. "Science as religion? : science communication and elective modernism." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2018. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/109735/.

Full text
Abstract:
My central concern in this thesis is how science should be understood by the public. I argue that science should be understood, and valued for, the formative aspirations of the scientific community. The formative aspirations of the scientific community are the values members try to uphold as members of the group, even when this is not always possible. These aspirations are constitutive of the scientific ‘form of life’. I argue that science and religion are distinct forms of life, and through their formative aspirations can be differentiated from one another. Drawing on the theory of Elective Modernism (Collins and Evans 2017), I argue that the formative aspirations of science overlap with democratic values. Media representations of science shape public understanding. Non-fiction television is a ubiquitous and trusted medium for the communication of science. Non-fiction science television programme makers were interviewed to understand the process of science television production: the pressures, tensions and constraints inherent to this process. I analyse representations of science in British non-fiction television programmes and argue that a ‘religious’ portrayal of science can be identified in some programmes. I identify a contrasting ‘secular’ portrayal of science in other programmes. The religious portrayal presents science as providing a definitive creation narrative. In this portrayal scientific knowledge is presented as a set of certain and immutable truths which are revealed by nature with little or no human intervention. In this portrayal science is presented as providing meaning. The secular portrayal’s representation aligns more closely with a sociological understanding of science. In this portrayal scientific knowledge is represented as requiring human skill to produce and as being subject to change, revision and debate. Science in this portrayal is represented as producing both positive and negative outcomes for society. From the perspective of Elective Modernism, if citizens are to properly understand, engage with and value science they need an understanding informed by sociological conceptions of science which emphasise science’s formative aspirations as its defining characteristic. The requirements for the production of an ‘elective modernist’ portrayal of science, one which foregrounds the formative aspirations of science, are discussed. The problematic consequences of the religious portrayal of science are laid out. Presenting science as a religion disguises its formative aspirations. This provides an inaccurate picture of how science works and a widespread (mis)understanding of science as a religion would undermine democratic society.

Abstract:
Communication complexity studies how many bits a certain number of parties need to communicate with each other in order to compute a function whose input is distributed among those parties. Although it is a natural area of investigation based on practical considerations, the main motivation comes from the myriad of applications in theoretical computer science.This thesis has three main parts, studying three different aspects of communication complexity.1. The first part is concerned with the k-party communication complexity of functions F:({0,1}^n)^k -> {0,1} in the 'number on the forehead' (NOF) model. This is a fundamental model with many applications. In this model we study composed functions f of g. These functions include most of the well-known and studied functions in communication complexity literature. A major goal is to understand which combinations of f and g lead to hard communication functions. In particular, due to important circuit applications, it is of great interest to understand how powerful the NOF model becomes when k is log n or more. Motivated by these goals, we show that there is an efficient O(log^3 n) cost simultaneous protocol for sym of g when k > 1+log n, sym is any symmetric function and g is any function. This class of functions includes some functions that were previously conjectured to be hard and our result rules this class out for possible very important circuit complexity applications. We also give Ramsey theoretic applications of our efficient protocol. In the setting of k < log n, we study more closely functions of the form majority of g, mod_m of g, and nor of g, where the latter two are generalizations of the well-known functions Inner Product and Disjointness respectively. We characterize the communication complexity of these functions with respect to the choice of g. As the main application, we answer a question posed by Babai et al. (SIAM Journal on Computing, 33:137--166, 2004) and determine the communication complexity of majority of qcsb, where qcsb is the "quadratic character of the sum of the bits" function. 2. The second part is about Fourier analysis of symmetric boolean functions and its applications in communication complexity and other areas. The spectral norm of a boolean function f:{0,1}^n -> {0,1} is the sum of the absolute values of its Fourier coefficients. This quantity provides useful upper and lower bounds on the complexity of a function in areas such as communication complexity, learning theory and circuit complexity. We give a combinatorial characterization for the spectral norm of symmetric functions. We show that the logarithm of the spectral norm is of the same order of magnitude as r(f)log(n/r(f)) where r(f) = max(r_0,r_1), and r_0 and r_1 are the smallest integers less than n/2 such that f(x) or f(x)parity(x) is constant for all x with x_1 + ... + x_n in [r_0, n-r_1]. We present some applications to the decision tree and communication complexity of symmetric functions. 3. The third part studies privacy in the context of communication complexity: how much information do the players reveal about their input when following a communication protocol? The unattainability of perfect privacy for many functions motivates the study of approximate privacy. Feigenbaum et al. (Proceedings of the 11th Conference on Electronic Commerce, 167--178, 2010) defined notions of worst-case as well as average-case approximate privacy, and presented several interesting upper bounds, and some open problems for further study. In this thesis, we obtain asymptotically tight bounds on the trade-offs between both the worst-case and average-case approximate privacy of protocols and their communication cost for Vickrey Auction, which is the canonical example of a truthful auction. We also prove exponential lower bounds on the approximate privacy of protocols computing the Intersection function, independent of its communication cost. This proves a conjecture of Feigenbaum et al.
La complexité de communication étudie combien de bits un groupe de joueurs donné doivent échanger entre eux pour calculer une function dont l'input est distribué parmi les joueurs. Bien que ce soit un domaine de recherche naturel basé sur des considérations pratiques, la motivation principale vient des nombreuses applications théoriques.Cette thèse comporte trois parties principales, étudiant trois aspects de la complexité de communication.1. La première partie discute le modèle 'number on the forehead' (NOF) dans la complexité de communication à plusieurs joueurs. Il s'agit d'un modèle fondamental en complexité de communication, avec des applications à la complexité des circuits, la complexité des preuves, les programmes de branchement et la théorie de Ramsey. Dans ce modèle, nous étudions les fonctions composeés f de g. Ces fonctions comprennent la plupart des fonctions bien connues qui sont étudiées dans la littérature de la complexité de communication. Un objectif majeur est de comprendre quelles combinaisons de f et g produisent des compositions qui sont difficiles du point de vue de la communication. En particulier, à cause de l'importance des applications aux circuits, il est intéressant de comprendre la puissance du modèle NOF quand le nombre de joueurs atteint ou dépasse log n. Motivé par ces objectifs nous montrons l'existence d'un protocole simultané efficace à k joueurs de coût O(log^3 n) pour sym de g lorsque k > 1 + log n, sym est une function symmétrique quelconque et g est une fonction arbitraire. Nous donnons aussi des applications de notre protocole efficace à la théorie de Ramsey.Dans le contexte où k < log n, nous étudions de plus près des fonctions de la forme majority de g, mod_m de g et nor de g, où les deux derniers cas sont des généralisations des fonctions bien connues et très étudiées Inner Product et Disjointness respectivement. Nous caractérisons la complexité de communication de ces fonctions par rapport au choix de g.2. La deuxième partie considère les applications de l'analyse de Fourier des fonctions symmétriques à la complexité de communication et autres domaines. La norme spectrale d'une function booléenne f:{0,1}^n -> {0,1} est la somme des valeurs absolues de ses coefficients de Fourier. Nous donnons une caractérisation combinatoire pour la norme spectrale des fonctions symmétriques. Nous montrons que le logarithme de la norme spectrale est du même ordre de grandeur que r(f)log(n/r(f)), avec r(f) = max(r_0,r_1) où r_0 et r_1 sont les entiers minimaux plus petits que n/2 pour lesquels f(x) ou f(x)parity(x) est constant pour tout x tel que x_1 + ... + x_n à [r_0,n-r_1]. Nous présentons quelques applications aux arbres de décision et à la complexité de communication des fonctions symmétriques.3. La troisième partie étudie la confidentialité dans le contexte de la complexité de communication: quelle quantité d'information est-ce que les joueurs révèlent sur leur input en suivant un protocole donné? L'inatteignabilité de la confidentialité parfaite pour plusieurs fonctions motivent l'étude de la confidentialité approximative. Feigenbaum et al. (Proceedings of the 11th Conference on Electronic Commerce, 167--178, 2010) ont défini des notions de confidentialité approximative dans le pire cas et dans le cas moyen, et ont présenté plusieurs bornes supérieures intéressantes ainsi que quelques questions ouvertes. Dans cette thèse, nous obtenons des bornes asymptotiques précises, pour le pire cas aussi bien que pour le cas moyen, sur l'échange entre la confidentialité approximative de protocoles et le coût de communication pour les enchères Vickrey Auction, qui constituent l'exemple canonique d'une enchère honnête. Nous démontrons aussi des bornes inférieures exponentielles sur la confidentialité approximative de protocoles calculant la function Intersection, indépendamment du coût de communication. Ceci résout une conjecture de Feigenbaum et al.

Abstract:
Given the severe environmental problems we are facing, it is crucial to communicate environmental knowledge to society in order to facilitate a trajectory towards sustainability. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore how departments at Swedish universities, whose research revolves around environmental topics, communicate their research. At four departments at two universities, I examine based on semi-structured interviews (I) with whom and in what ways these departments communicate their research, (II) what the motivations are to do so, and (III) if there are challenges in communicating environmental science. For examining the departments’ communication strategies, I apply the theory of a multi-model framework of expert-public interaction. This multi-model framework, however, proved to be too simplistic for the complexity of reality, as the models underlying this framework are too intertwined, and not competing descriptions of reality. They rather describe specific aspects of communication practices.  The results show that even though there are two-way communication practices with both the government, specific stakeholders, and the general public, the mere dissemination of environmental knowledge seems to be the default practice of science communication at the examined departments - especially concerning the general public. The motivation to communicate environmental knowledge is of intrinsic nature, to give something back to society and to increase awareness about sustainability practices. Discovered challenges in science communication include a general lack of time to effectively communicate research results, as well as deficient education in science communication for researchers.  For transforming into sustainable societies communication strategies need to be improved.

Doutoramento em Biologia
The present work aimed to contribute to understand the public perception of biodiversity, to find patterns of biodiversity representation in communication pathways and to promote strategies to modify stereotypes towards biodiversity, creating a more aware and active public through environmental education and citizen science projects. Four studies were developed under the following subjects: 1) understanding young adults preferences about animals, 2) comprehend how biodiversity is portrayed in children’s books from the Portuguese National Reading Plan, 3) evaluating the impact of an environmental education project on the public awareness of ponds and associated biodiversity, and 4) understanding the potential of a Citizen Science approach to map ponds in the Portuguese territory. The results from the various studies showed a limited and distorted public view and awareness about living beings. This was found to agree with the biodiversity portray patterns in children´s trade books, which seem to constitute important sources of information about biodiversity during childhood. The present work also described the implementation and evaluation of a resourceful environmental education strategy that was able to change the public attitudes towards ponds and associated biodiversity, especially the amphibians. Finally, it also showed that the implementation of a Citizen Science action was able to engage citizens in pond conservation actions and create the first map of ponds in Portugal through the use of Volunteer Geographic Information mechanisms. The work used innovative methodologies of data analysis and project impact evaluation that can be useful to future research in science communication.
O presente estudo teve como objectivos contribuir para a compreensão da percepção pública da biodiversidade, encontrar padrões da representação da biodiversidade nos meios de comunicação e promover estratégias para modificar estereótipos acerca da biodiversidade através da utilização da educação ambiental e de projetos de ciência cidadã, criando um publico mais consciente e ativo. Foram desenvolvidos quatro estudos sobre os seguintes assuntos: 1) compreender as preferências dos adolescentes acerca dos animais, 2) perceber como a biodiversidade é retratada nos livros para crianças do Plano Nacional de Leitura, 3) avaliar o impacto de um projeto de educação ambiental dedicado à sensibilização do público sobre os charcos e a biodiversidade associada, e 4) compreender o potencial de uma ação de ciência cidadã no mapeamento de charcos no território português. Os resultados dos vários estudos mostram uma visão limitada e distorcida acerca dos seres vivos por parte do público. Este aspecto está de acordo com o retrato da biodiversidade nos livros para crianças, que parecem constituir uma importante fonte de informação sobre a biodiversidade durante a infância. Este trabalho também descreve a implementação e avaliação de uma produtiva estratégia de educação ambiental que foi capaz de modificar as atitudes do público para com os charcos e a sua biodiversidade, sobretudo em relação aos anfíbios. Finalmente, o presente trabalho também demonstrou que a implementação de uma ação de ciência cidadã foi capaz de envolver os cidadãos em ações de conservação de charcos e criar o primeiro mapa de charcos em Portugal através da utilização de mecanismos de Informação Geográfica Voluntária. O presente trabalho utilizou metodologia inovadora para análise de dados e avaliação de impacto de projetos que podem ser úteis para o futuro da investigação em comunicação de ciência.

Abstract:
Background: World economy of the 21st century places high demands on national economic systems. Governments implement various initiatives to enable a more effective cooperation between universities and industries in order to increase competitiveness of their economies. Science Parks represent one type of such initiatives. It is assumed that they support regional economic growth by means of technology transfer from university to industry. Science Parks usually incorporate incubation programs, which enable creation of NTBFs by university staff and students. Science Parks have to ensure its organizational development by providing paid services, especially in form of incubator program. Therefore, Science Parks are regarded in our research as service companies. In order to enable creation of NTBFs Science Parks have to be able to attract talented researchers and students. In our research, we focus on students and consider them as potential customers for Science Parks. Previous research focusing on the problem of students’ attraction to these organizations is scarce. We implement marketing communication theory to address the problem of students’ attraction to Science Parks. Aim: Our research is set to identify content for a marketing communication strategy of a science park, which considers students as potential customers. Theoretical background/Methodology: In order to fulfill the aim of the research we implement case study strategy. We collected primary and secondary data. The case organization is presented by Dalarna Science Park (located in Borlänge, Sweden), where we collected secondary data. It was incorporated in our research as handout materials that enabled Focus Group discussions. Focus groups with students from Dalarna University presented the source of primary data. Question guideline for focus groups was based on principles of marketing communication theory, which we used as the primary theory of the research. Conclusions: Results indicate that students regard business incubator services of a Science Park as useful for those who have business ideas. It can be considered as positive prerequisite for a marketing communication strategy. In order to attract students with ideas of starting own ventures, a Science Park should engage students into various events, such as workshops, discussions and seminars. The organization should constantly inform students about its nature and activities and create an image of a young successful entrepreneur, which students are attracted to. For this purpose a Science Park can use Internet as means of both spreading its messages to students and enabling WOM recommendations among them.

Abstract:
This thesis is submitted to meet the requirements of a Doctorate of Philosophy within the field of Psychology. Through a series of nine publications, this body of work aimed to develop a deeper psychological understanding of cultures of science communication at live science events in order to better support audiences and practitioners. Live science events encompass an enormous diversity of activity ranging from science festivals to education outreach in schools. While the scale and audiences may vary, they are all live, in-person programmes aiming to engage the public with science in a social context. Science communication practitioners (including scientists and engineers) and audiences report that live science events provide powerful experiences to engage with science, but empirical measurements of these impacts are sparse. As such, these publications and the associated commentary have sought to advance future research and practice in science communication on this topic. The DPhil had three objectives: to analyse audience perceptions of and needs for engagement formats and learning at live science events; to explore science communication cultures in STEM research environments and live science events; and to evaluate and influence the motivations and perceived self-efficacy of STEM researchers/students taking part in engagement and outreach. Through leading these projects and publishing the results, the candidate has met the requirements of the UWE Doctoral Descriptors. The insights from these projects have proven applicable to both researchers and practitioners in the science communication and science education industries, and will help to drive forward best practice in the field.

Abstract:
Considering several definitions of “science communication”, the article defines it, unlike academic communication, as deliberate actions intended to channel scientific knowledge and results of research to a broad audience, which is not limited to scientists and specialists in a specific topic. By 2019, the professional field in Russia as a concept and reality can be recognized as fully developed. Around this time, the expression “science communicator” became widely used in official speeches and informal communication as a collective term for activities in the field that existed at the intersection of science, PR, and journalism. Russian science communications are conceptualized under the influence of the international tradition. They adopted some ideological principles of the “diffusionist theory” of the main actors, channels, and processes in this activity and the ideology of the Public Understanding of Science. The article presents the main stages of the development of science communications in Russia for the last fifty years. The most significant of them is the period between 2013 and 2021, which the article considers in great detail. It characterizes the state of science communications at the beginning of this period and the successes achieved by 2020. At the current stage, started after 194 July 2022, science communicators, thanks to social media, retain a high involvement in professional communication and a sense of community. The article shows that this professional area, in the most significant way, began to crystallize around the events held by the Association of Communicators in Education and Science. The association’s founders and, at the same time, the most active members of it brought their vision, concepts, and values to this area of activity. Interviews with the founders and members of the association’s board reveal the supporting semantic structures and meanings that formed the basis of “science communication” in Russia and reasons why other concepts, perhaps more familiar to the native language (such as “popularization of science” and “science journalism”) were rejected for the name of a new professional field.

Abstract:
Sustainability Sciences need communication to communicate knowledge effectively and to engage audiences toward sustainable development. Therefore, the present study examines to what extent media and communication aspects are integrated into sustainability science's curricula of higher education institutions in Europe. For this purpose, a total of n=1117 bachelor and master's degree programs and their related curricula/program specifications from 31 European countries were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results show that the level of curricular integration of media and communication aspects in the field of sustainability science is not (yet) far advanced (18%). This leaves room for a reflection on the perceived (ir-)relevance of communication as a crucial discipline and competence in the sustainability science area, as well as on the social and educational responsibility of higher education institutions.

Full text
Abstract:
As mobile communication becomes more pervasive, there is an increasing need to study the potential uses of wireless organizational communication. The difficulty in analyzing information and communication technology (ICT) in organizational communication is the unintentional split between information processes perspectives and human communication perspectives in the discussions of workplace technology. By merging two constructs, organizational informatics and organizational sensemaking, this paper develops a communicative organizational informatics (COI) framework, which provides a robust perspective on how people communicate through the uses of technology in organizational settings. This communicative informatics framework offers a powerful lens to study the meanings, understandings, uses and gratifications, and potentials of technology in organizations and how it can facilitate workplace communication. A COI analysis of a personal digital assistant (PDA), a Palm VII, with a live wireless connection to a company sales database is examined by applying a usability testing methodology.

Full text
Abstract:
Science communication has shifted significantly in recent decades. From an early, widespread understanding that scientific findings were disseminated in a linear, closed pathway, there is now widespread acknowledgement of the need for more comprehensive and inclusive participation in science [cf. Massarani et al., 2017; Schäfer et al., 2015]. The project “Wir forschen”, which is part of the project “Innovation Hub 13 – fast track to transfer” coordinated by Technical University of Applied Science Wildau and Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, explores methodological and practical characteristics of citizen science as a form of science communication. In this project, we outline an argumentation of understanding citizen science as science communication and furthermore introduce the term citizen science communication. In the processual course of the projects, different instruments of science communication come into play, which establish a dialog between the actors and initiate exchange with different intentions and approaches. In doing so, the project contributes to the science of science communication.
