More on: Public communication of science

The topic of public communication of science is closely related to the podcast episodes provided, as they both explore the challenges and strategies of responsibly communicating scientific research to the general public.

The first episode, Can we stop aging?, discusses how to responsibly communicate ongoing anti-aging research, separating hype from proven methods. The second episode, Joseph Giacomelli, "Uncertain Climes: Debating Climate Change in Gilded Age America" (U Chicago Press, 2023), reflects on how to effectively convey scientific complexities and uncertainties to broader public audiences, particularly in the context of historical climate change debates.

These examples demonstrate the importance of public communication of science in ensuring scientific findings are accurately and effectively shared with non-expert audiences.
