A Scientist's Guide to Talking to the Public: "If you want the facts, laid down in a simple, unfussy style, then get a copy of Am I Making Myself Clear? This book should sit on the shelf of every scientist, science communicator and university press officer. I've never read a better, more thorough guide to science communication in all its forms." -- Gia Milinovich, Nature.

Sinopsis

Cornelia Dean draws on her 30 years as a science journalist with the New York Times to expose the flawed reasoning and knowledge gaps that handicap readers when they try to make sense of science. She calls attention to conflicts of interest in research and the price society pays when science journalism declines and funding dries up.

Cr�ticas

Current and future scientists and journalists, as well as advocates for science, will appreciate Dean's effort to combat scientific illiteracy.--Nancy R. Curtis"Library Journal" (02/24/2017) Dean explains how, despite living in an 'age of science, ' the American public is largely ignorant about what science is and how it works...Dean offers a step-by-step guide for evaluating science. In a few simple steps, she explains how to decide who is an expert, how to understand data, what you need to do to read science and figure out whether someone is lying to you...If science leaves you with a headache trying to figure out what's true, what it all means and who to trust, Dean's book is a great place to start.--Koby Michaels"Casper Star-Tribune" (05/02/2017) This book is an accessible--by--all description of modern science and the societal gap of understanding.--C. Sokolik"Choice" (08/01/2017) This engaging book offers non-scientists the tools to connect with and evaluate science, and for scientists it is a timely call to action for effective communication.--Laura Bowater"Times Higher Education" (05/11/2017) Fascinating...Its mission is to help nonscientists evaluate scientific claims, with much attention paid to studies related to health.--Froma Harrop"Seattle Times" (07/05/2017)
