Reviews

Shipman's <i>Handbook for Science Public Information Officers</i> is so smart and so insightful about communicating science that it would be a useful guide for anyone who cares about illuminating research and improving science literacy. It's also so good at exploring the challenges and opportunities from a public information standpoint that it should be essential reading for anyone in the business. --Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook and guest editor of Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014

W. Matthew Shipman is a public information officer at North Carolina State University.

Shipman has produced a much-needed resource for communications officers. Although intended for science communications, many of the strategies he describes, and much of the advice he imparts, would be valuable to any communications professional. It's an engaging, accessibly written work that could easily become a standard reference guide in the field, as well as a teaching tool for students in communications studies. I would, without hesitation, recommend that any communications professional read this book. --Tom Breen, deputy spokesperson at University of Connecticut
