Communication in Science

I find these four articles on science communication to be extremely interesting. I think it is integral for scientific ideas and concepts to be explained and communicated to the public in a comprehensive way. I liked the comparison of science communication to the science enterprise. I feel that through this comparison, scientists can better understand the importance of communicating science to the public in a way that is effective and understandable. I also liked the call to scientists to be citizens. As a citizen, one is encouraged to be a contributing factor to society. By scientists  doing the research and explaining it to the public in technical terms, they are not helping society in the most beneficial manner. Therefore, it is important for scientists to explain complicated science terms in a way that the general public can understand. And, then, these individuals are able to make more informed decisions on these scientific concepts that are relevant to their everyday life.
