Question: what is the masters of science communication?

  1. There are two parts to my answer.

    Firstly, what in the world is a Masters. A Masters is a type of university degree that someone can study for and work towards only once after they get a Bachelor degree at university. A Bachelor degree is the first degree that anyone gets when they go to university.

    Science Communication is an area where we look at how science is explained or talked about. This could mean between scientists, or between the science world and everyone else and it can involve anything on television, newspapers, magazines, movies, radio and even the internet.

    This competition, “I’m a Scientist, Get Me Out of Here!” is science communication. Here you get to talk to a number of scientists at once to get information on science. Our jobs as scientists is to give you give you that information, not using our scientific language filled with technical terms that only we know what we mean, but in everyday language which is a challenge.

    For me science communication is looking at how well, (or not so well), the ideas of science is shared amongst different people whoever they may be and the ways people share that message.
