In 2017, more than one million people around the world gathered together in the largest event for science advocacy in history. The March for Science aims to build a future where science informs the policies that impact our lives and communities. They organize, support, and amplify science outreach and advocacy efforts in communities around the world. Take part in science advocacy through contacting one of the March for Science satellites that exist in hundreds of cities around the world. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55215552e4b06ebe90163b6c/5a79340ec83025531db9e84e/5a79367808522976eac57703/1517893365450/JoesBigIdea.jpg Featured Partners - Friends of Joe's Big Idea (FOJOBIs) Joe's Big Idea (JBI) JBI was started by NPR Science Correspondent Joe Palca in 2012, in an effort to tell stories about the processes of science and invention.

ABSTRACT: This essay seeks to explain what the “science of science communication” is by *doing* it. Surveying studies of cultural cognition and related dynamics, it demonstrates how the form of disciplined observation, measurement, and inference distinctive of scientific inquiry can be used to test rival hypotheses on the nature of persistent public conflict over societal risks; indeed, it argues that satisfactory insight into this phenomenon can be achieved only by these means, as opposed to the ad hoc story-telling dominant in popular and even some forms of scholarly discourse. Synthesizing the evidence, the essay proposes that conflict over what is known by science arises from the very conditions of individual freedom and cultural pluralism that make liberal democratic societies distinctively congenial to science. This tension, however, is not an “inherent contradiction”; it is a problem to be solved — by the science of science communication understood as a “new political science” for perfecting enlightened self-government. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55215552e4b06ebe90163b6c/5a7dd2b9ec212d3d8131a2e5/5a7dd6650852295dfdc692b2/1518196591506/static1.squarespace-2.png Research: Scicomm - Geoengineering and Climate Change Polarization: Testing a Two-channel Model of Science Communication ABSTRACT: We conducted a two-nation study (United States, n = 1500; England, n = 1500) to test a novel theory of science communication. The cultural cognition thesis posits that individuals make extensive reliance on cultural meanings in forming perceptions of risk. The logic of the cultural cognition thesis suggests the potential value of a distinctive two-channel science communication strategy that combines information content (“Channel 1”) with cultural meanings (“Channel 2”) selected to promote open-minded assessment of information across diverse communities. In the study, scientific information content on climate change was held constant while the cultural meaning of that information was experimentally manipulated. Consistent with the study hypotheses, we found that making citizens aware of the potential contribution of geoengineering as a supplement to restriction of CO2 emissions helps to offset cultural polarization over the validity of climate-change science. We also tested the hypothesis, derived from competing models of science communication, that exposure to information on geoengineering would provoke discounting of climate-change risks generally. Contrary to this hypothesis, we found that subjects exposed to information about geoengineering were slightly more concerned about climate change risks than those assigned to a control condition. http://www.shareyourscience.org/research-public daily 0.75 2018-02-10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55215552e4b06ebe90163b6c/t/5a7e754571c10b61a58ce23d/1518194827337/ Research: Public https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55215552e4b06ebe90163b6c/5a7dcf8a9140b7f3f862dd74/5a7dd08bf9619aac61d5a0af/1518194827337/ Research: Public https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55215552e4b06ebe90163b6c/5a7dcf8a9140b7f3f862dd74/5a7dd0bb8165f5c0baee4381/1518195134353/Logo-nsf.png Research: Public - The National Science Foundation: The Science Board National Science Foundation The National Science Board is a core part of National Science Foundation (NSF) that identifies critical issues relevant to NSF's mission and aims to provide unbiased reports, such as the Science and Engineering Indicators.
