Read MoreExcellent overview with many thought-provoking sections. Consideration of concepts, methods and means of science communications has already helped my process of editing a book that I have written and planning for presentations. Greatly appreciate the points about Community of Practice and not working in a vacuum. Very pertinent to my current situation! Lastly I found that the challenge of getting the answers right for the end of sections quiz certainly necessitated a review process that did help me digest the content. Much appreciated! Thank-you for sharing so many insights on science communications that you have gleaned from your years of practice. Invaluable!
