The acute crisis situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has recently shown how important science communication is. But that's not all: well-founded, up-to-date knowledge from various scientific disciplines is also necessary for social discussions on efficient measures to combat climate change or questions of social justice.

To ensure that communication between science, society and the media is as successful as possible, Die Junge Akademie's project group on science communication has developed five key points for science communication in discussions with numerous experts. The guiding principles advocate a clear separation of factual basis, level of knowledge and judgement, advocate a realistic classification of extreme values in the debate and want to encourage communicators to trust the public with more complexity. In this way, public discourse can become more objective.

    • Unspoken

      Under the title "Ungesagtes" ("Unspoken"), the five articles and one discussion deal with aspects that one would tend to contrast with and deduct from the ideal of objectivity of science as "subjective" parts. On the one hand, it is about what the researching subject brings into the scientific work in often subtle ways: own views, emotions, values, personal beliefs. On the other hand, the influence of everything subjective on human behavior is itself also a topic of research.

    • Dissent!

      What would the sciences be without controversy - after all, science is also a competition of theses, methods and ideas. This is the starting point for the new issue of the JAM, which is devoted to dissent between various disciplinary perspectives. To this end, we have compiled strategies for effective debates from a wealth of historical disputes in science. There is also room for controversy over the redesign of the JAM, which is being published in this issue, for the first time, as a poster.
