The ability to communicate is fundamental to life as we know it and the key to success in many cases is based on having good communication skills. Be it written, spoken, visual, auditory or otherwise, effective communication can open many doors to hidden knowledge that can benefit the world. Science as an entity, which itself stems from the Latin word Scientia, (Engl. "knowledge"), has a tradition of not being particularly well communicated, with long words, vast and confusing concepts, and information overloads. However, as good as communication between scientists has generally become, there is still room for improvement. This article hopes to inform and inspire scientists to lead by example, to educate and advise in the best ways that we can, not just for non-experts, but for the interest of everyone.
沟通能力是我们所知道的生命的基础,在许多情况下,成功的关键是基于良好的沟通技巧。无论是书面的、口头的、视觉的、听觉的还是其他形式的,有效的沟通都可以打开许多隐藏知识的大门,这些知识可以使世界受益。科学作为一个实体,本身源自拉丁语 Scientia(英文“知识”),有着沟通不畅的传统,有着冗长的单词、广泛而令人困惑的概念以及信息过载等问题。然而,尽管科学家之间的沟通已经有了很大的改善,但仍有改进的空间。本文希望能为科学家们提供信息和启发,以身作则,以我们所能的最佳方式进行教育和建议,不仅是为了非专业人士,也是为了每个人的利益。
