Euroscience Workgroup on Science Communication

Archaeologists and researchers from the humanities tend to believe that their images are easy to comprehend. Look at this photo of a Neolithic grave, roughly 4.800 years old. Analysis shows "the tidy, systematic nature of the burial" and "suggests they were laid to rest with care". Norbert Hirschinger mentions: this image does not look like "care" but like chaos. Therefore it is difficult to understand. - Always ask someone from a different discipline: "What do you see on this image?", before using it in science communication.

This 5000-year-old mass grave hides a family tragedy Mothers, sons, and siblings fill the grave—but where are the fathers?

A highly respected scientist who not only communicated passionately but had the grandeur to engage with popular formats like Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory has gone. RIP Stephen Hawking.

In loving memory of Stephen Hawking. It was an honor to have him on The Big Bang Theory. Thank you for inspiring us and the world.

When listening to an inexperienced science communicator ....
