Science Communication, Science Literacy and Public Support

December 5, 2007 lecture by Rob Semper for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). Rob discusses the new models of public science literacy that are beginning to change the paradigm from a one-way transmission approach of lecture, publishing and journalism to one of public engagement and even debate: from public understanding to public dialog to the role of science centers as intermediary institutions between the world of science and the public, new thinking is emerging for this critical arena.
