Best Of: Framing III: Happy Feet

Paradigm Sheep
That's the title of my latest Science Progress column....even though the column itself is not entirely about sheep. Rather, it's a recounting of the Mooney-Nisbet science communication "boot camp" at Caltech....but, well, sheep came up, and believe it or...Posted on July 2, 2008 12:05 PM • 3 Comments
Science Communication Lecture and Boot Camp at CalTech
Over the past year, I've done well over two dozen talks, with Matthew Nisbet, about science communication. And now we're taking it to the next level. Next week at CalTech, we're unveiling a two-part affair: Our lecture (entitled "Speaking Science...Posted on June 19, 2008 10:20 AM • 1 Comments
The Science of Communication: What We Know We Didn't Know But Convinced Ourselves Otherwise
At the risk of getting more comments about framing...In January I spoke at the 2008 American Meteorological Society meeting's 7th Communication Workshop, and the audio and powerpoints are now online. Many or most of the panelists--and especially myself and Arthur...Posted on April 11, 2008 12:26 PM • 3 Comments
Part IV: Defending "Framing Science" Premises V-VI
Well, discussion seems to have mostly run its course on "framing science" premises II and III. I have defended them, at least to my own satisfaction. There may be some folks who still reject them, but at this point, at...Posted on April 7, 2008 8:37 AM • 85 Comments

When Framing Matters
Chris has been posting his thoughts on framing, and while we share many ideas, it's time I provide my own perspective. You see, I'm often mistaken for my coblogger, and while I do understand a thing or two about storms...Posted on April 2, 2008 11:44 AM • 46 Comments
A Dialogue on Framing, the F-Word, and the Future of ScienceBlogs: A Roadmap Forward
Well, it's Wednesday, and so far I've done two posts--and gotten more than 170 comments--in the new "framing science" dialogue that I've sought to begin here. Let's briefly recap, so that I can then explain how I'll be moving forward....Posted on April 2, 2008 8:45 AM • 36 Comments
A Dialogue on Framing, the F-Word, and the Future of ScienceBlogs, Part II: Where Do We Actually Disagree?
*** Not An April Fools Entry.*** Well, folks, I am deviating from my original plan in this series of framing posts that I've promised. I had wanted to launch into a long--and, I think, revealing--insider narrative account of how it...Posted on April 1, 2008 10:45 AM • 94 Comments
A Dialogue on Framing, the F-Word, and the Future of ScienceBlogs, Part I: Framer Culpa
