To set your #SciComm efforts up for success, it pays to know your audience and yourself. Non-scientists in the United States tend to have a specific view of the enterprise of science, but that view may or may not align with how researchers think about their work. To understand the cultural gaps and what they mean for communicating basic science, SciPEP spoke with three experts: Laura Lindenfeld, Todd Newman and Chris Volpe.

What do we know about Americans’ motivations for and deterrents to engaging with science? What roles do hope and joy play? Hear from Eve Klein, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement with Science @Association for Science and Technology Centers, about a study that examined these questions. More on this study and others that provide "Insights and Practical Considerations for Communicating Basic Science" from our SciPEP effort here: https://lnkd.in/gWEf_qKZ #SciComm #SciEngage
When @ScienceCounts set out to learn how members of the U.S. public feel about science, they found that many non-scientists associate science with the emotion hope, while scientists associate it with joy. What does this mean for basic science? Hear from Todd Newman, Assistant Professor of Life Sciences Communication at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

What factors make the biggest difference in how comfortable scientists are with setting goals for their #SciComm? Does how much basic science they do play a role? Insights from Olivia Ambrogio, former assistant director of American Geophysical Union's Sharing Science Program, and learn more in our SciPEP resource "Insights and Practical Considerations for Communicating Basic Science." https://lnkd.in/gWEf_qKZ #SciComm #SciEngage
