There’s a lot of jargon in science, so it’s no surprise there’s also a lot of jargon in scicomm. We’ve been chatting… aaaand ranting… about scicomm jargon for a while. So we thought we’d go out on a limb and say what jargon we think works, what matters, and what jargon debates feel unnecessary.
Why does the jargon matter? Because our work -- scicomm -- is about people, and words matter to people.
So this week, we tackle things like:
- Being ready for situations by having thought through the terms you prioritize
- The debate about being a scicomm trainer vs. scicomm facilitator
- Scientific communication vs. science communication (aka scicomm)
- Bethann’s rant that ‘blogging isn’t dead’ and ‘newsletters are just blogs’
- Citizen science vs. community science vs. civic science
Dig in for yourself: What’s an aspect of scicomm jargon that you think really matters …or maybe one that you think is downright silly?
