A lab that considers how to communicate science, through figures and anthropomorphism.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about how to communicate science
The Marine Biology and Science Communication (Matthew Christopher Wood) lab studies science communication, that is, how to convey scientific content to people.
Among the papers listed in the researcher directory are ones that deal with how figures are read and how that relates to the context and emotions surrounding the figures.
There is also a paper that considers, using examples from Japan, the possibility of using anthropomorphism in communicating science.
The lab has also published books and papers on how to develop communication skills in students who study science.
Key terms
- Science communication
- Communicating and exchanging scientific and research content in a way that people outside the field can understand
- Anthropomorphism
- An expression that depicts or describes non-human things as if they were human
ResearchResearch themes
This lab investigates how scientific information is received by people through figures and text. The papers in the researcher directory deal with the relationship between figure reading and context, communication using anthropomorphism, education in science communication, and more.
