0. Introduction

Science communication is critical for the advancement of scientific knowledge. It allows researchers to share their work and findings with the public, so that the public can be informed and make educated decisions. It also allows for feedback from the public, which can inform and improve future research. By engaging in science communication, researchers can ensure that their work is accessible and can have an impact on the world around them.

Video 1.4 Public money vs public goods

  1. Most researches are funded by public money.
  2. But many of the outputs have been produced only for limited ecosystem.
  3. Researchers take more for themselves than they share to the stakeholders.

Video 1.5 Key points

  1. Researches should also be made accessible to the public.
  2. Not only by making them downloadable, but also by sharing the story with the public.
  3. Researchers should work with science journalist or science communicator and should also first handedly communicate science.
