Script is a free training and networking resource for journalists, scientists and anyone who wants to communicate science in an engaging and accurate way.
By connecting reporters and researchers, and giving both groups the skills to understand and communicate with each other, Script aims to increase the quantity and quality of science-related stories in the news. We believe this is essential to enable informed, evidence-based decision-making, by everyone from individuals to policymakers.
Take a look at the resources below to find out more.
Script is made possible by funding from the Robert Bosch Stiftung and is implemented by SciDev.Net
Over 700 scientists from CABI’s Member Countries joined free science communication training to better share research and influence policy.
Researchers at @UCUniversity in Uganda are turning food waste into feed for crickets to produce high-quality protein for humans. They say this approach could be an economically viable investment.
“Often we focus on meat yet the value of leather is much higher than that of meat from the same animal. Leather is a co-product, not a byproduct” — Dr Paul Tanui, chemist, Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, Kenya
