science to the public. Nowadays Science can be seen around our lives but the
communication and right comprehension of science to the public is rare.
If scientists want the public to know about current research, and if the public want to
apply that knowledge to their lives, scientists need clear communication skills. Declining
trust in the mainstream media makes it even more important for scientists to
clearly communicate with the public. Apart from the practicalities of what we do, and
why it's important, science communication also helps spread awareness about
how scientists use funding, and what happens to taxpayers' money in the 'world
of science'.
2. Cite down the laws related to science and technology
