Book Review: Science Communication in a Crisis

Science Communication in a Crisis: An Insider’s Guide by Christopher Reddy. This is a work that try to address the challenges that scientists face when communicating. It examines the problem of navigating a maze of competing interests, while delivering actionable science. The author lists here, the challenges that are of grave importance to science communication, grouping all of those into ten different heads. Each group is covered in a chapter that focuses on the specific issues that could arise, and recommend a list of solutions.

I find in the author, a leader in the study of marine pollution. This book explores several high-profile case studies that caused serious damages to the marine environment, like oil spills, for presenting firm ideas about effective and collaborative exchanging and manipulation of data. I am sure, this book will be a great resource for junior and established scientists for sharpening their vision. And also for students in courses such as environmental and science communication.
