Talking Science: The Elusive Art of the Science Talk
January 18, 2010 Filed under Blog, Presentations, Resources
This 18-minute video called “Talking Science: The Elusive Art of the Science Talk” was produced by the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies and the USC Annenberg School for Communication. It was made by Randy Olsen, author of Don’t Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style.
I was informed of Olsen’s book by Prof. David Karoly, and indeed, the book is an excellent companion to Chapter 30 “Communication with the Media and Public” in Eloquent Science. This is another one of my highly recommended books for your collection as a scientist.
