WELCOME
Science communication is essential in making scientific knowledge accessible, understandable, and applicable to both experts and the general public. In an era of rapid scientific advancements, such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, and amidst complex and controversial issues like climate change and public health emergencies, effective science communication becomes even more crucial. It plays a pivotal role in countering misinformation and fake news, building trust in scientific findings, inspiring curiosity, and fostering collaboration to tackle societal challenges.
The Future Lab: Where Science meets Communications aims to provide a collaborative platform to showcase innovative science communication formats, foster new partnerships and spark excitement among scientists and communicators. The Future Lab also provides a platform for exploring and discovering news perspectives on career paths and skill sets within science communication.
