Abstract


Einstein believed that if you can explain a scientific topic to your grandmother in a manner that is engaging without diluting its meaning, you have mastered the art of science communication. Good science journalism is about taking science to non-experts, such that it generates an appetite for knowledge, satisfies the thirst for entertainment, and prevents the spread of misinformation.
