The scientific method

Visualisation depicting the fundamental steps of the scientific method, an indispensable framework for cultivating and sustaining a robust community-level comprehension of scientific phenomena.

Visualisation depicting the fundamental steps of the scientific method, an indispensable framework for cultivating and sustaining a robust community-level comprehension of scientific phenomena. Mastery of data analysis is essential for effective research, involving critical questions such as ‘What are we investigating?’ ‘How do we experimentally validate our hypotheses?’ ‘Can results be confidently confirmed?’ and ‘What additional information is needed for robust conclusions?’ The scientific proficiency extends to adeptly presenting research outcomes in a lucid and concise manner, encompassing both positive and negative findings. In an era where misinformation poses a genuine threat, the foundational principles of critical thinking inherent in the scientific method play a pivotal role in appreciating, sharing, and safeguarding knowledge.

Science communication

Schematic overview of the field and the actors of science communication.

Schematic overview of the field and the actors communicating science. Science communication is informing, educating, raising awareness of science-related topics, and increasing the sense of wonder about scientific discoveries and arguments. Science communicators and audiences are ambiguously defined and the expertise and level of science knowledge varies with each group. The two types of science communication are outward-facing (or science outreach; science journalism and science exhibition typically conducted by scientists or science journalists to non-expert audiences) and inward-facing (or science “inreach”; scholarly communication and publication in scientific journals via expert to expert communication).
