A conversation with Prof. Massimiano Bucchi

 

With the advent of online media, science reporters are no longer one of the major gatekeepers of science news and analysis. In this episode, we discuss the greater responsibilities scientists need to take on to compensate for the decline of traditional media outlets. Our guest is Prof. Massimiano Bucchi, Professor of Science and Technology in Society and of Science Communication at the University of Trento, Italy. He serves as editor of the leading international journal, Public Understanding of Science.
