Science communication is at the heart of many of the 21st century’s most consequential issues. From climate change to artificial intelligence and biomedicine, science and technology are playing an important role in people’s lives to an ever-greater extent.

Communicating about science and technology comes in many different forms. Telling people about science is one important task. In addition, it is widely accepted that people should be able to engage with science and technology topics at a democratic level because science and technology affects all our lives.
