RE: Why Do Scientists Blog, Who Is The Audience And How Can Steemit Play A Role?

in #steemstem7 years ago

And what about popular science? I think that science, in general, need a big popularization before reaching a big audience. Whatever the subject, even a simple thing in science can be difficult for most of the people.

This is the thing I try in my chronicles HDLW because when I talk about science to my friends I can't speak like I speak to my colleague, I need to employ simply terms and concrete analogy, but without making a scientist shortcut.

But this task is very difficult and unfortunately, it's not in the skills acquired at the university. But it's should be!
For me, one of the biggest goals of the scientist community should be the popular science!

Now I think that science blogging contribute a lot in this, especially when people ask question.

Anyway thank for this post!

Sort:  

When I talk about science blogging that includes popular science. The authors of the research publication made no distinction. So it would seem that even popular science misses it's Mark and attracts a highly educated rather then general audience.
