| Abstract
|
:
|
'The Science Communication Challenge' explores and discusses the whys - as distinct from the hows - of science communication. Arguing that the dominant science communication paradigm is didactic, and tracing the origins of that paradigm, it makes the case for a political category of science communication, aimed at furthering discussions of science-related public affairs.
