2/2 Reflection on readings

My last post was a summary of a study that was published in Science.  From the readings, I am beginning to gain a better understanding of how to create a more ‘informal’ setting of learning, as explained by Sarah Davies in section 2.2 of Investigating Science Communication in the Information Age.  The traditional ‘formal’ dialogue is defined to be politically driven in a sense.  My last post isn’t necessarily formal, but it does almost fall into the ‘deficit’ model of SC.  I summarized the study, and it ended up being a long post still.  In my future posts, I plan to try and write shorter posts, ask some open-ended questions, especially for the more controversial topics, to try and engage the audience more.
