Essay
We need more primers for scientists who not being able to communicate, bemoan the fact that few people are listening. The challenge at hand - and we're looking at you, climate change conference delegates, biodiversity conservation champions, world heritage specialists, lies in creating opportunities for information sharing before, during and after big events. If few people are paying attention, then congratulations you've built a wall around global conference. Instead cultivate interest early and reward the [|hoi polloi] for giving attention.

Make it fun
[|Tyler DeWitt: Hey science teachers -- make it fun] - High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt was ecstatic about a lesson plan on bacteria (how cool!) -- and devastated when his students hated it. The problem was the textbook: it was impossible to understand. He delivers a rousing call for science teachers to ditch the jargon and extreme precision, and instead make science sing through stories and demonstrations.

[|Congress Unplugged! Set the default to Open] - There is a growing movement to change the lack of taxpayer’s access to scientific research by supporting policies that require all published results to be made available to the public, free, online as soon as possible. This talk by Heather Joseph will outline actions you can take to get involved and make taxpayer-funded science openly.

[|The case of open science] - The need to share scientific knowledge has never been more urgent. The present global knowledge system is good at generating knowledge, but poor at sharing it.
