Questions to think about:

How should communicators balance data accuracy & integrity, accessibility, and creativity when presenting scientific information? What roles do each play in communicating science to the public?

How does the choice of medium and design affect what audiences notice, feel, and remember about the data?

How can science communication translate research and data into messages that effectively reach people and meaningfully guide their decisions and behaviours?
