From discussions about #science at the Christmas table to #populism, #disinformation, stealth issue advocacy, and “parachute science”: I was interviewed by the great blog “Elephant in the Lab” and discussed the small and big challenges of science communication research and practice: http://elephantinthelab.org/populism-science-and-public-discourse-an-interview-with-niels-mede/

Thanks a lot for this conversation, it was a pleasure! 🙏

How do people with #populist views of #science inform themselves and communicate about it? 🔬

In our new study, @mss7676 @j_metag and I find: Science-related populists prefer #TV and social networking sites, and are more likely to comment scientific content online. But they don’t avoid journalistic media in general, so they don’t ‘disconnect’ from science 🪢🔬
