Science communication generally refers to public media presenting science-related topics to non-scientists. This often involves professional scientists (called 'outreach' or 'popularization'), but has evolved into a professional field in its own right. It includes science exhibitions, science journalism, science policy and science media production.
Science communication can be important, not just to maintain a demand for ongoing science, but because some information is directly applicable. Science can also inform political and ethical thinking. There is an increasing emphasis on teaching the methods, and not just the authoritative findings of science. These issues may be especially critical in the face of scientific misinformation, and how much easier it is to spread (because it is not subject to the many constraints of accurate science information).
Communicators can use all the same methods of entertainment and persuasion as in other professions, including humor, story telling, and metaphors. Scientists are sometimes even trained in some of the techniques used by actors.

This is the University of Amsterdam's Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Introduction to Communication Science.
Since antiquity, scholars have appreciated the importance of communication: as social beings we cannot exist without communication. We need to interact with people around us to make sense of the world and to position ourselves in a wider social and cultural reality. In this course, we look at how and why communication evolved as a science, and we'll reflect on today's domin

Paul Andersen discusses cell communication. He begins by explaining how he communicates with other individuals using various forms of electronic communication. He them explains how cells communicate when the distance between them is big, small, and zero. He explains how antigen presenting cells pass information on antigen structure by touching in the immune response. He explains how neurotransmitters are used to transfer and manipulate nerve signals. And he finally explains how the endocrine system sends messages throughout the body.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Science communicators craft "a-ha!" moments for their audience, connecting meaning, relevance and importance with the purpose of the message.
When these a-ha or light bulb moments land, you have an amazing ability to see the world - and often yourself – differently.
Renee Sayers talks about how this spark can enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge and attitudes, catalysing the ultimate goal: increasing scientific literacy to make a better world.

This is the University of Amsterdam's Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Introduction to Communication Science.
Since antiquity, scholars have appreciated the importance of communication: as social beings we cannot exist without communication. We need to interact with people around us to make sense of the world and to position ourselves in a wider social and cultural reality. In this course, we look at how and why communication evolved as a science, and we'll reflect on today's dominant paradigms. The course also extends beyond the boundaries of communication science itself by discussing aspects of the fields of history, sociology and psychology.
Introduction to Communication Science explores some of the basic theories, models, and concepts from the fields of mass, interpersonal, and intrapersonal communication. The course begins with a consideration of several basic models, subsequently progressing to the history of communication theory, linear effect-oriented theories, the reception approach, and finally, exploring theories on the production and reinforcement of culture through communication.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students should:
have a knowledge of the history and development of communication science;
have a knowledge of the dominant theoretical approaches within communication science;
have a knowledge and understanding of the most important models and concepts in this field.

Peter Charles Doherty AC (born 15 October 1940) is an Australian veterinary surgeon and researcher in the field of medicine. He received the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 1995, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Rolf M. Zinkernagel in 1996 and was named Australian of the Year in 1997. In the Australia Day Honours of 1997, he was named a Companion of the Order of Australia for his work with Zinkernagel. Zinkernagel was named an honorary Companion. He is also a National Trust Australian Living Treasure. He had a younger brother named Ian and had two parents named Linda and Eric. He skipped a grade in school and entered the University of Queensland when he was 17.
Doherty's research focuses on the immune system and his Nobel work described how the body's immune cells protect against viruses. He and Rolf Zinkernagel, the co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, discovered how T cells recognise their target antigens in combination with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins.
Viruses infect host cells and reproduce inside them. Killer T-cells destroy those infected cells so that the viruses cannot reproduce. Zinkernagel and Doherty discovered that, in order for killer T cells to recognise infected cells, they had to recognise two molecules on the surface of the cell – not only the virus antigen, but also a molecule of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). This recognition was done by a T-cell receptor on the surface of the T cell. The MHC was previously identified as being responsible for the rejection of incompatible tissues during transplantation. Zinkernagel and Doherty discovered that the MHC was responsible for the body fighting meningitis viruses too.

Peter Charles Doherty AC (born 15 October 1940) is an Australian veterinary surgeon and researcher in the field of medicine. He received the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research in 1995, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Rolf M. Zinkernagel in 1996 and was named Australian of the Year in 1997. In the Australia Day Honours of 1997, he was named a Companion of the Order of Australia for his work with Zinkernagel. Zinkernagel was named an honorary Companion. He is also a National Trust Australian Living Treasure. He had a younger brother named Ian and had two parents named Linda and Eric. He skipped a grade in school and entered the University of Queensland when he was 17.
Doherty's research focuses on the immune system and his Nobel work described how the body's immune cells protect against viruses. He and Rolf Zinkernagel, the co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, discovered how T cells recognise their target antigens in combination with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins.

Sustainable Science Communication Conference Session II
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Part two of a conference emphasizing two complementary issues: sustainable science and sustainable science communication. This conference discuss how the transition to a sustainable society will require a “third industrial revolution”, in which manufacturing, transportation and communication are conducted within constraints imposed by resource availability and supply risk; limitations on energy and freshwater consumption; and knowledge about the environmental fate and transport of components. Series: "Carsey-Wolf Center" [9/2015] [Science] [Show ID: 29771]

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Science communicators craft "a-ha!" moments for their audience, connecting meaning, relevance and importance with the purpose of the message.
When these a-ha or light bulb moments land, you have an amazing ability to see the world - and often yourself – differently.
Renee Sayers talks about how this spark can enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge and attitudes, catalysing the ultimate goal: increasing scientific literacy to make a better world.
It’s not just through wide-reaching and over-arching reasons like contributing to our social, economic and innovative future; or shaping minds that can observe, problem-solve and ask questions. But through letting that spark provide insight to our core. Awakening who we are and what we can do.
Sayers encourages you to embrace curiosity, delight in the whys and get lost in the wonder of our world. It could very well be the way you find yourself.
Renae Sayers is an international science communicator whose mission is to share the science joy, making the world a better place one light-bulb moment at a time. She has dedicated her life to empowering people with the enlightenment and wonder that scientific literacy can provide.
From her time at Scitech, the Edinburgh International Science Festival and Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre, she has collaborated and performed with communities in Japan, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Singapore, and across Australia to achieve this goal.
She develops inspiring and engaging science shows, programs, panels and projects that connect the audience with specific (and general) science themes, skills and understanding.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Our countdown of the films that have communicated true science in the most entertaining (and accurate!) ways.
Note to people tasked with the job of communicating science: People love movies. Why? Because they tell stories about human trials and tribulations. All this films tell stories about science; but through interesting characters who we can relate to. While we don't expect everyone to go out and create an box-office smash about their research – take some inspiration from the way these science stories are told! Make us care about the characters involved, and their personal and professional challenges :)
The list includes:
Dante's Peak
Extraordinary Measures
October Sky
Something the Lord Made
Jurassic Park

Introduction to Communication Science
by Rutger de Graaf
University of Amsterdam
Syllabus
Welcome!
Picture of a letter, an old book, and an ink pot and a quill
This is the University of Amsterdam's Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Introduction to Communication Science.
Since antiquity, scholars have appreciated the importance of communication: as social beings we cannot exist without communication. We need to interact with people around us to make sense of the world and to position ourselves in a wider social and cultural reality. In this course, we look at how and why communication evolved as a science, and we'll reflect on today's dominant paradigms. The course also extends beyond the boundaries of communication science itself by discussing aspects of the fields of history, sociology and psychology.
Introduction to Communication Science explores some of the basic theories, models, and concepts from the fields of mass, interpersonal, and intrapersonal communication. The course begins with a consideration of several basic models, subsequently progressing to the history of communication theory, linear effect-oriented theories, the reception approach, and finally, exploring theories on the production and reinforcement of culture through communication.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students should:
have a knowledge of the history and development of communication science;
have a knowledge of the dominant theoretical approaches within communication science;
have a knowledge and understanding of the most important models and concepts in this field.

037 - Cell Communication
Paul Andersen discusses cell communication. He begins by explaining how he communicates with other individuals using various forms of electronic communication. He them explains how cells communicate when the distance between them is big, small, and zero. He explains how antigen presenting cells pass information on antigen structure by touching in the immune response. He explains how neurotransmitters are used to transfer and manipulate nerve signals. And he finally explains how the endocrine system sends messages throughout the body.
