Abstract

Today's science is largely funded by taxpayer dollars, and because of this, scientists have a responsibility to ensure that their research is being effectively communicated back to taxpayers and to the policy makers who determine the distribution of those funds. The importance and impact of effective science communication is compounded when research is used to inform legislative action. Science impacts policy, and policy can impact science. However, the formal education of scientists does not usually include specific training on interacting with science policy. This article describes strategies for engaging with science policy—starting with simple and easy policy actions, and delving into more complex event planning and group organizing tasks. Whether advocating for evidence-based policies or policies that impact the scientific enterprise or STEM education, practicing skills pertinent to science policy can help you gain comfort in translating your experiences and experiments into lasting change. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

让科学家参与政策讨论
今天的科学主要是由纳税人的钱资助的,正因为如此,科学家有责任确保他们的研究有效地传达给纳税人和决定这些资金分配的决策者。当研究被用来为立法行动提供信息时,有效的科学传播的重要性和影响变得更加复杂。科学影响政策,政策可以影响科学。然而,科学家的正规教育通常不包括与科学政策相互作用的具体培训。本文描述了参与科学政策的策略——从简单和容易的政策行动开始,深入到更复杂的事件规划和小组组织任务。无论是倡导以证据为基础的政策,还是影响科学事业或STEM教育的政策,实践与科学政策相关的技能,都可以帮助你在将经验和实验转化为持久变革时获得安慰。©2019 by John Wiley &儿子,Inc。
