Dr. Amy Pearce, Psychology, and Dr. Al Romero, currently dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and former chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at ASU, have published in the Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Communication edited by University of Nevada-Las Vegas Professor Susanna Hornig Priest. The 2-volume encyclopedia presents resources and strategies for science communicators, including theoretical material and background on recent controversies and key institutional actors and sources. Science communicators need to understand more than how to interpret scientific facts and conclusions; they need to understand basic elements of the politics, sociology, and philosophy of science, as well as relevant media and communication theory, principles of risk communication, new trends, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of science communication programs, among other challenges.
