Reviews
"""Prof. Bloomfield’s new book Science v. Story examines four very pertinent present-day challenges to science communicators – climate change, evolution, vaccination, and COVID-19 – from the perspectives of their narratives and their counter narratives, to demonstrate how effective story-telling is essential to effective science communication in the modern world."" * The Well Read Naturalist * “To read Science v. Story is to encounter innovative science communication theory that will contribute to the wisdom of the rhetoric of science and invigorate the communication field.” * Environmental Communication * ""Each of Bloomfield’s core chapters ends with a series of thought-provoking questions that science communicators can use to inform their practices."" * Medium * ""For Bloomfield, the rewards of storytelling in science communication outweigh the risks – as long as the story is told well. Which explains her book’s ultimate aim: to provide science communicators with tools for creating and evaluating stories."" * The LSE Review of Books * ""Science v. Story is original, well argued, and well worth consideration, not just for scientists, but for anyone who participates in helping science hold up its end of the discourse that shapes our lives."" * Technical Communication *"
