Dear all,
A new report on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing
the public understanding of science community is now available on the Web at
http://www.uwe.ac.uk/facults/fas/graphicscience/publications.html
The analysis, held at this year's Science Communication Forum at the BA
meeting in Cardiff, surveyed the views of public understanding of science
practitioner's in the field, as well as the views of funders in this area.
The exercise organised jointly by the School of Interdisciplinary Sciences
at UWE and Riverpath Associates, showed that above all science communicators
wish to achieve better targetting and to improve accessibility, but are
concerned about oversimplifying science.
Please feel free to post any personal responses to the report on psci-com.
Karen
