Did you know that crows have the ability to remember a human's face and recognize it when they see it again? And that they have their own funeral customs? We found this out directly from a researcher in charge of studying the behaviour of crows who takes a direct approach to communicating science: she skips the middlemen and speaks directly to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it's podcasts,\nfascinating conferences or attending open days, the website\nwebsite or a blog with news from the lab, the researcher has numerous\nways to connect with an audience interested in science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Characteristics of good communication, such as\nwere determined by the audience, are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some examples of direct communication of\nresearchers with the public:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did we find out about them? Most of them were invited to one of My favorite science podcasts, Oologies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My list for Romania has only a few names so far, I am looking for more examples. If you know of researchers involved in direct communication with the public on their social media pages\/accounts, please leave me a comment or write me at madalina@comunicarestiintifica.ro<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the last article explaining the three-step communication model. To better understand the subject, read all the articles in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every month, I send a newsletter about Science & Communication<\/a>with articles on how research can be better promoted in Romania. Includes what I write here on the blog, but also recent articles in other languages that I recommend and comment on. VIPs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
