Is science communication really worse than it was 100 years ago? Can simplicity help?

 

A special buckle-up session of Andy Revkin’s Thriving Online webcast series

Randy Olson jettisoned a tenured professorship in marine biology for L.A. film school and moviemaking. But the worsening capacity of scientists and media to engage the public drew him to apply Hollywood insights to science communication.
 
The result is a string of popular books, workshops and training sessions showing how to find narratives that connect your data and knowledge with the public or policymakers in ways that can help shape smarter steps toward climate action and sustainability impact.
