GSA Members Contribute to Science Communication Study

GSA members contributed to this ScienceCounts/Alda Scientist Survey: a study that assesses scientists’ views on public engagement and science communication training, and probes attitudes on trust, funding, and emotional motivators as a function of employment sector, personal ideology, career level, and field of study.

Listen to Chris Volpe’s (ScienceCounts) recent 35-min conversation with Alan Alda about science communication on an episode of Alda’s Clear and Vivid podcast.
