Communicating Scientific Knowledge in Times of Crisis

How can scientists and science communicators effectively engage the public in times of crisis and in the face of pervasive uncertainty? Drawing on the experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the escalating climate crisis, the three essays in this volume examine key dimensions of this challenge. What roles should scientists play in policy-making? How can the spread of fake news in science communication be curtailed? And how can we represent uncertainties in a way that upholds the credibility of scientific knowledge?
