Due to the politicization of science and the proliferation of misinformation about science and its significance, it has never been more crucial for scientists to clearly articulate the importance of science to the public. Despite this, many scientists often (1) do not acknowledge the importance of broader scientific communication; (2) are not familiar with tools or resources that can improve their communication of science, both among colleagues and to the general public; and (3) do not receive such training through their degree or job training programs. In this symposium, scientists who work across multiple disciplines in entertainment, communication, and narrative are brought together with entertainment and communication industry professionals practiced in interpreting and presenting complex data in thoughtful and cogent ways. Together, they offer lessons learned and provide engagement strategies for integrative and comparative biology and for science in general.
由于科学的政治化以及关于科学及其重要性的错误信息的泛滥，科学家向公众清晰阐明科学的重要性从未像现在这样至关重要。尽管如此，许多科学家常常：（1）不承认更广泛科学传播的重要性；（2）不熟悉能够改善他们在同事之间以及向公众进行科学传播的工具或资源；（3）在其学位课程或工作培训项目中未接受过此类培训。在本次研讨会上，从事娱乐、传播和叙事等多个学科工作的科学家与擅长以深思熟虑且有说服力的方式解读和呈现复杂数据的娱乐和传播行业专业人士汇聚一堂。他们共同分享经验教训，并为综合与比较生物学以及一般意义上的科学提供参与策略。
