Research findings influence people’s decisions and it’s important that people base their decisions on correctly interpreted research findings. Press officers and communication specialists can learn how to communicate research with our free online course: https://scidevnet.teachable.com/p/science-communication-for-press-officers

🎤🗒️🔬Every science journalist needs to build a list of credible scientists and nurture professional relationships with them. Relying on inappropriate sources can mislead audiences and dent the credibility of a journalist and their media house.
