Science museums are in the business of making science accessible to
the public a public constantly bombarded with new information and
research results. How the public understands this information will
affect what they expect and take away from a museum's exhibits and
programs. Creating Connections looks at the public understanding of
research (PUR) and how it affects what science museums do. What are
the opportunities and critical issues in PUR? What strategies are
working and what are some pitfalls? What can be learned from the
media's experiences with PUR? Creating Connections will be an
invaluable resource for science museum professionals who want to
guide their institutions and their visitors toward a new
understanding of and appreciation for current research.
