ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Charlie and Martin wrote about the current issue of Science, which is devoted to climate change. This short piece about climate change communication could be of particular interest to those on the list and it's available online: http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_magazine/previous_issues/articles/2013_08_02/caredit.a1300158 Referring to a recent conference, the article says speakers "stressed the importance of telling personal stories, emphasizing local impacts of climate change over global ones, and understanding that scientists command respect from the public on technical matters despite what some might think." For help planning and crafting climate change communication, I highly recommend Climate Access. There's a webinar next week about "starting climate conversations in difficult places." http://www.climateaccess.org/ _________________________ Wendy Pollock truthabouttrees.org Evanston, Illinois *********************************************************************** For information about the Association of Science-Technology Centers and the Informal Science Education Network please visit www.astc.org.
