‘Scientists need to engage more fully with the public. The Royal Society recognises this, and is keen to ensure that such engagement is helpful and effective’Report by The Royal Society, June 2006

Scientists being asked by editors to communicate to the media
‘In response to this need in science communications, the AAAS Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology has partnered with the National Science Foundation to provide resources for scientists and engineers… to help researchers communicate more broadly with the public’

Design Science Research Group (DSRG)
DSRG is a venture between practising designers from Central Saint Martins and science communicators from Imperial College London, set up in 2011 in response to the recognition by a growing number of scientists that improvements are needed in the communication of science to the public.
