Science and SocietyScience Journalism
Science journalism is an important facet of the public’s relationship with science.
Accessible, accurate and critical reporting of science and technology is crucial to society – from the public’s understanding and appreciation of science to government officials’ ability to make informed decisions using scientific evidence. We support journalists globally to learn critical skills that enhance their profession and we celebrate excellence in science journalism with the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards.
