Good science and good journalism are ultimately very similar – if you bring them together systematically, as the RRC does, the odds are also in favour of better science communication.

Science communication is not a package delivery service. We need a more differentiated knowledge of science to deal with the vagaries and ambiguities of its communication.

As a sociologist of science, I am interested in the question of how different actors can make good decisions in the face of complex problems and multiple scientific facts.

For me, science communication research implies aesthetic questions. As I specialise in Media Cultural Studies and Design Theory, I am interested in answering them.

In addition to the overall coordination of the RRC, it is my concern as a literary scholar to strengthen the transfer of knowledge from the Social Sciences and Humanities to journalism through the RRC’s quality circles.

As one of the RRC’s cooperation partners, the SMC will develop quality criteria through two quality circles that will enable journalists to communicate relevant and robust research findings from the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The WPK aims to strengthen the quality of science journalism. For us, this includes the dialogue with science studies – so that journalists can contextualise new findings about science and the science system.

Scientific data and expertise are the foundation on which decisions for society are based. With the Research³-workshops, we contribute to assessing the quality of data-based conclusions.

I am fascinated by the interaction between science and society. The Living Handbook of Science Communication and Science Studies explores this interface.

I research the Corona pandemic with a special focus on knowledge selection: What knowledge do the media, politics, law and science resort to – and what patterns can be discerned?

As a designer, I am interested in the aesthetics of science communication – to what extent do techniques and tools rub off on the articulations of science?

How do identity concepts, digital communication structures and discursive spaces of possibility influence science communication? I am dedicated to answering this question.

Good science communication does not view science monolithically. Disciplinary approaches and especially impulses from the Social Sciences hold the key to a paradigm shift.

I am interested in a cultural studies perspective on science communication that looks at forms and narratives.

As a media culture scholar, I examine scholarly discourses and phenomena, which have their relevance legitimized also by means of aesthetic arguments.

As Researcher in Residence at SMC, I investigate how Sociology and Philosophy can contribute to public discourse and how journalism can make these disciplines more visible as sciences.

Arguing from a differentiation-theoretical perspective, I use the example of science podcasts to examine the digitalisation of communication and its consequences.

Science journalism must not only communicate research results, but also the underlying methods and knowledge gains – and that is for different disciplines.
Dr. Martina Franzen

Science communication is more than just providing information. Creative approaches are needed to make research findings from Science Studies more usable for different target groups.
