متن کاملPrescriptive scientific narratives for communicating usable science.
In this paper I describe how a narrative approach to science communication may help audiences to more fully understand how science is relevant to their own lives and behaviors. The use of prescriptive scientific narrative can help to overcome challenges specific to scientific concepts, especially the need to reconsider long-held beliefs in the face of new empirical findings. Narrative can capti...
متن کاملCreating usable science: Opportunities and constraints for climate knowledge use and their implications for science policy

As demands for usability become more prevalent for publicly accountable scientific programs, there is a need to better understand opportunities an...
