- noobermin 9y agoI'll be frank, if supposed "actual scientists" were better at science communication, may be there wouldn't be a need for "science communicators." I say this as an actual scientist who mostly dislikes communication. I'm happy there are communicators out there that raise our profile a little, I don't feel jealous or spiteful for some reason towards them.
- tincholio 9y agoI think you're mistaking "communication" for "vulgarization". Most decent scientists are good at communicating their findings via publications. Making those findings understandable by laypeople, maybe not so much.
