While science journalism is in crisis in many countries (e.g., Guenther, 2019) and scientists are increasingly called to make their work publicly visible (e.g., Rödder, 2012; Joubert, 2018), in new media environments (Brossard, 2013) alternative sources for informing the public on scientific topics have become popular (e.g., Brumfiel, 2009).
Productive communication between scientists and the public is beneficial to both scientists and the public. Much research focuses on the impact of engagement on the public, and recent efforts have aimed to both understand and increase scientists’ participation in public communication.
In 2010, the National Science Board’s (NSB) Science and Engineering Indicators excluded questions about evolution from both the report and their measure of scientific knowledge (NSB, 2016). While this decision generated “flak” from the broader community (Bhattacharjee, 2010), the NSB argued that the consistently low U.S. score on the human evolution questions indicated they were not a reliable measure of scientific knowledge.
