“Scientists should learn to be communicators, says Chris Mooney”
Of course, they should, but my point was that journalists also need to learn that reporting on science is different from reporting on the weather or politics or what a celebrity had for breakfast.
You’re absolutely right! I just tried to refer to an old post of mine in which I said scientists should acquire skills in communicating with laypeople. So I agree with you…
