Ethics and practice in science communication

From climate to vaccination, stem-cell research to evolution, scientific work is often the subject of public controversies in which scientists and science communicators find themselves enmeshed.

Especially with such hot-button topics, science communication plays vital roles.

Gathering together the work of a multidisciplinary, international collection of scholars, the editors of 'Ethics and Practice in Science Communication' present an enlightening dialogue involving these communities, one that articulates the often differing objectives and ethical responsibilities communicators face in bringing a range of scientific knowledge to the wider world.
