Science Communication Institute

At the interface of knowledge discovery and mobilization

Science communication research.

The field of science communication turns a critical lens to the most pressing issues of our time.

We study how knowledge around contemporary issues is built, circulated, interpreted, used, and appraised in the public sphere.

Our Research

Science communication training.

We develop training programs for current and future scientists who seek to become better science communicators in practice.

Our Resources

Knowledge mobilization.

We partner with research and hospital networks to apply practical science communication strategies to real-world issues.

Our Vision

Science communication transforms complex, specialized knowledge into understandable media to facilitate interactions between science and society.

Our institute seeks to understand how knowledge is shaped in the digital age in order to develop evidence-based communication strategies that build trust in science.

An intentional act of translation.
