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 *"

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 *"
