Reviews

This book is an effective manual of how scientists can -- and should -- engage with the public. ( Watershed Sentinel , 1 July 2013) The book is easy to read and contains many references and consulting it will improve any science communication event. ( TCE Today.com , 1 November 2013) If you want to know more about the history of science communication, how it fits with your day job, or about other people's experiences then this book will be of value. It is written in an academic style with references to further reading throughout... I would recommend this book as an introduction to sci-com. ( Microbiology Today , 30 August 2013) Science Communication -- A practical guide for scientists will be an invaluable resource for any scientist wishing to develop their scientific career by starting to engage in science communication or for those who already have experience in science communication and wish to refresh their skills.
