Abstract

Scientists work every day to answer major questions and tackle the complex challenges of our modern world. The way scientists’ findings related to these questions are communicated, however, is often in scientific publications, focused on a highly academic, and discipline-specific audience. Inclusive science communication takes an equity-centered approach that asks how the science is relevant to the impacted actors or intended audience before deciding how to communicate. Relatedly, translational science looks at how research efforts have engaged with partners and communities to answer their priority environmental and public health questions and identifies ways to improve the engaged research processes. Together, translational science and inclusive science communication can make research more accessible and usable. This talk will discuss the science of science communication and how a translational science approach can improve the impact of scientific research beyond the impact factor measured by a journal.
