Scientists today working on controversial issues from climate change to drought to COVID-19 are finding themselves more often in the middle of deeply traumatizing or polarized conflicts they feel unprepared to referee. It is no longer enough for scientists to communicate a scientific topic clearly. They must now be experts not only in their fields of study, but also in navigating the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of members of the public they engage with, and with each other. And the conversations are growing more fraught. In Getting to the Heart of Science Communication, Faith Kearns has penned a succinct guide for navigating the human relationships critical to the success of practice-based science. This meticulously researched volume takes science communication to the next level, helping scientists to see the value of listening as well as talking, understanding power dynamics in relationships, and addressing the roles of trauma, loss, grief, and healing.

Communication pervades our lives at all levels: academic, professional and personal. We can think of communication as anything that involves a transaction of meaning as a result of messages being sent and received between people, and these messages can be either intentional or unintentional. Your yawn at the breakfast table may be unintentional, but it communicates a message that you are tired. Communication is vitally important in every facet of our lives and we spend virtually all of our time communicating. Because it comes very naturally to us we might assume that we know how to do it and therefore don't need to spend time learning it. In reality, few of us reach our communication potential and we therefore experience communication difficulties from time to time. We have all had the experience of saying or doing something and then being surprised to find that someone else interprets what we have said or done in a way that we never intended. Communication is a complex process with many opportunities for mistakes and misunderstandings to occur. This book explores how various kinds of miscommunication occur and draw lessons on how to minimise barriers to communication.
