dc.description.abstract | We are heartened to see a chapter on public engagement in science and technology in India’s draft Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy 2020 (see go.nature.com/3k7g6hf). We sincerely hope there is the political will and investment to make this vision a reality: the pandemic has proved that science literacy is of the utmost importance. Among other things, the draft calls for: dedicated science-communication wings at each of the publicly funded institutions; national and local centres for increasing science coverage in the media; training in relevant communication skills at every level (from school to faculty); investment in research on how people engage with discovery and misinformation; creative and innovative platforms for science outreach that is locally and culturally relevant, from museums and festivals to social media. It also suggests that civil society, non-governmental organizations and private partners should contribute. | en_US |
