In at least 250 words (total), address how Green’s Scientific American article aligns with the core principles of science communication and the tips we learned from Wu.
(1) Discuss how you believe Green’s article accounts for his audience using a particular framing and language by completing the following:
(a) Identify ONE audience you believe that Green was hoping to address.
(b) Identify the framing you believe Green chose, and discuss how he supported this framing through his language.
Note: Do not take up too much space with direct quotes from Green here. Rather, discuss how Green used language in his piece to support the framing you feel he chose, and do so using strategically-chosen–but short–direct quotes from the text if you wish.)
(2) Second, did Green’s article uphold any of the science communication tips we learned from Wu? Recall that the tips we learned involved getting rid of the ideas that communication gaps are due to knowledge; that there is finality in science; and that all communication is good communication.
(a) State whether or not you believe Green’s piece aligned with any of Wu’s tips. If YES, state the tip you think Green most aligned with (you need only mention ONE).
(b) Explain why you took the above stance.
- If YES, briefly explain how you believe Green lived up to Wu’s suggestion.
- If NO, briefly explain how you believe Green could have better lived up to one of Wu’s suggestions (you need only discuss one).
