Suggested reading; Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers; This book will primarily be aimed at a postgraduate readership and above, with a specific focus on early career researchers (e.g. Post-docs and early lecturers within 10 years of starting their career). The increasing number of MSc courses that are offered in science communication, along with the fact that many of the skills that are covered in the book (e.g. presenting, writing, etc.) are being imbedded into new postgraduate training courses, means that this book will have a large market across all HEIs, not just in the UK but also globally; Also available in print
N2  - Effective Science Communication (Third Edition) is an essential handbook tailored for scientists at any stage of their career, aiming to enhance both their inward-facing and outward-facing communication skills. The book is structured into detailed chapters, each focusing on different aspects of science communication, from publishing in peer-reviewed journals to engaging with the media. It offers a blend of theoretical insights and practical exercises designed to build confidence and competence in communicating scientific research. This guide seeks to empower scientists to effectively share their work, enhancing the impact of their research and facilitating a deeper public understanding of science. Through this, it aims to bridge the gap between the scientific community and society at large, promoting science as a cornerstone of informed citizenship and social progress
