Why SciComm Matters to Us?
|
GLOBAL INEQUALITY
Awareness about science and technology can help promote accessibility and therefore has a role to play in minimising the effects of global inequality. We focus on raising awareness about advances in science in the Caribbean. |
SCICOMM BARRIERS
There is a need for more research in science communication (SciComm) to address its barriers in the Caribbean context and improve its effectiveness. Our methods support the application of SciComm research. |
MISINFORMATION
Facts need to be credibly sought-out, trumpeted, repeated, and shared widely to help cut through the clutter of misinformation and disinformation. We take communication higher in this regard as we aim to soar above anti-facts. |
SCIENCE ELITE?
An innate human characteristic is to search out a matter and to be curious about the world around us. This is science at its core, and it is for everyone. We hope to inspire confidence. |
SOCIAL & ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY
SciComm is particularly important when public funding is used to support science and research or when the public can be affected in some way by the scientific process. We encourage transparent and responsible communication. |
