CivicSciTV - Questions of the Day
‘You say Science Festival, I say Science Festivaaal’: Sam Ridgeway explains
In this segment of Questions of the Day, Sam Ridgeway – a freelance science communicator – discusses his piece on SciComm Bites about a 2021 paper published in the Journal of Science Communication titled “Science Festival may not mean what we think it means: an analysis of how researchers and practitioners use this term.” He reflects on his experiences with science festivals, underscoring the paper’s analysis of the varied use of the term “science festival” across different contexts. The conversation covers a range of topics including the challenge of capturing the diversity of these festivals in research, and also explores the potential benefit of a database for organizing and comparing them.
