Scientists and researchers are making incredible new breakthroughs regularly in different fields from healthcare to agriculture, ecology to technology and much more. Communicating these research findings and developments is vital as it enables researchers to share the importance and impact of their work with the wider community. Being a good science communicator is easier today as researchers have the benefit of being able to tap into various channels \u2013 both online and offline to engage audiences. Scientific research can be shared not only through reports, peer-reviewed articles, conferences and media interactions, but also through social media platforms<\/a> by tweeting, blogging and sharing Instagram or LinkedIn posts. Either way, effective science communication and actively engaging the audience in conversations about research helps to showcase your findings, build your credibility, and strengthen your reputation as a researcher.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, while the quantum of research literature has been growing consistently over the past two-three decades the readability scores of scientific research papers have witnessed a gradual decline.1<\/sup> Overburdened researchers often find themselves struggling with engaging and effective science communication, while the non-scientific audience usually finds reading and understanding research literature dry and dull. The UNESCO Science Report 2021 states that a good science communicator is responsible for providing \u201caccurate, timely information that helps the public to understand the key issues of the day and recognize disinformation.\u201d2<\/sup> Once you know how to become a science communicator, researchers stand to gain several benefits.<\/p>\n
