＜Outline＞
'Visible' scientists, from historical examples including Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Hideki Yukawa and Stephen Hawking to contemporary ones such as Anthony Fauci, Salim Abdool Karim, and Hiroshi Amano, have influenced public perceptions and trust in science. This seminar will focus on emerging actors and key challenges in contemporary science communication. Visible scientists and universities are increasingly becoming key actors in science communication practice and strategy: what are the implications for science communication training and public perception of and trust in science? The seminar will also explore the role of policy makers as users of science communication, particularly in connection with crisis situations like the recent pandemic.
