Given current science-related crises facing the world such as
climate change, the targeting and manipulation of DNA, GMO foods,
and vaccine denial, the way in which we communicate science matters
is vital for current and future generations of scientists and
publics. The Routledge Handbook of Scientific Communication
scrutinizes what we value, prioritize, and grapple with in science
as highlighted by the rhetorical choices of scientists, students,
educators, science gatekeepers, and lay commentators. Drawing on
contributions from leading thinkers in the field, this volume
explores some of the most pressing questions in this growing field
of study, including: How do issues such as ethics, gender, race,
shifts in the publishing landscape, and English as the lingua
franca of science influence scientific communication practices? How
have scientific genres evolved and adapted to current research and
societal needs? How have scientific visuals developed in response
to technological advances and communication needs? How is
scientific communication taught to a variety of audiences? Offering
a critical look at the complex relationships that characterize
current scientific communication practices in academia, industry,
government, and elsewhere, this Handbook will be essential reading
for students, scholars, and professionals involved in the study,
practice, and teaching of scientific, medical, and technical
communication.
