‘Not for me’
Artificial intelligence operates in a social context and affects everyone. Organizing science communication and engagement activities on the topic for all groups in society is therefore recommendable. However, research shows that mainly higher educated, already engaged citizens participate in science communication activities. To address this gap, our study collected insights from underrepresented citizens in the Netherlands regarding their views …
Current Changes in the Relationship Between Scientists and Journalists. A Systematic Literature Review
Events such as the climate crisis, developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and the COVID-19 pandemic, compel interaction between researchers and journalists to inform citizens and increase public understanding of science. This literature review provides an in-depth analysis of publications about the changing relationship between researchers and journalists. The analysis is based on two main trends which impact science-media interactions, cha…
Science communication under pressure
Introduction Having access to information about science is essential for citizens to relate to global challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic is a clear example of how citizens’ dependency on scientific information increased. This study aimed to gain an understanding of the challenges researchers and journalists encountered in communicating about COVID-19 and included an analysis of their roles and responsibilities in science-media interactions. Method…
Science journalism in pandemic times
Several studies have investigated the relationship between scientists and journalists. However, Southern Europe has been less studied when it comes to understanding the nature and effectiveness of collaborations between these two groups of professionals. To address this gap, this study focused on researchers (i.e., academics and scientists from different fields, including clinical researchers and medical doctors) who conducted research activities…
Co-creation in support of responsible research and innovation
Co-creation, a form of engagement in which stakeholders jointly generate value, has increasingly received attention as a way to enhance responsible research and innovation (RRI). To explore the extent to which co-creation might support RRI, this paper analyses three co-creation workshops with different types of stakeholders in the area of nanotechnology for health. The analysis considers the potential of co-creation to enhance the legitimacy of a…
How Can I Contribute? Citizen Engagement in the Development of Nanotechnology for Health
Scholars and policymakers have increasingly advocated to engage citizens more substantially in the development of science and technology. However, to a large extent it has remained unknown how citizens can contribute to technology development. In this study, we systematically characterized citizens’ contributions in the development of nanotechnology for health. We explored to which technology aspects citizens are able to provide suggestions on an…
Science Communication
Communication about science is more than 'giving the facts'. In times of global challenges, rapid technological developments and information overload, effective science communication interventions need to be carefully thought through and designed. Science Communication: An Introduction, is a concise, coherent and easily readable textbook about the field of science communication, connecting the practice of science communicators with theory. In the…
Public opinions about human enhancement can enhance the expert-only debate
Human enhancement, the non-medical use of biomedical technologies to improve the human body or performance beyond their ‘natural’ limitations, is a growing trend. At the same time, the use of these technologies has societal consequences. In societal debates about human enhancement, however, it is mainly the voices of experts that are being heard, and little is known about the public’s understanding of human enhancement. The views of the public ca…
Nanotechnology in Dutch science cafés
Understanding public perceptions of and attitudes to nanotechnology is important in order to understand and facilitate processes of dialogue and public participation. This research quantitatively analysed risk perceptions and attitudes of Dutch science café participants ( n = 233) and compared these with members of the Dutch public ( n = 378) who had not attended a café but were interested in science and technology as well. A qualitative analysis…

Public participation in genomics research in the Netherlands
Nowadays, new technologies, like genomics, cannot be developed without the support of the public. However, although interested, the public does not always actively participate in science issues when offered the opportunity via public participation activities. In a study aimed at validating a measurement scale, first, we investigated if public participation existed, and, secondly, we investigated how levels of public participation in genomics rese…
Communicative Aspects of the Public-Science Relationship Explored
Communication and the way this communication process is perceived by different publics is part of the public-science relationship. This article presents qualitative data with respect to biotechnology and genomics communication and identifies similarities and differences among publics in various roles. Focus group discussions were conducted with members of the general public, active consumers, patients, and genomics experts in the Netherlands. The…
