Science Communication NetworkIn order to narrow the gap between scientific understanding and public knowledge of environmental health research affecting human and animal health, and to ensure that the science is reported accurately, in context and without alarmism, it is critical that scientists interact with journalists, sharing not only their findings but their passion and deeper understanding of the field.
Along with creating opportunities for scientists and journalists to communicate, SCN improves this interaction by providing scientists and health professionals media training to better and more confidently convey their findings. We also provide journalists what they told us they needed: advance notice of publication of important new science, with context and background, and access to a variety of credible experts for interview.
