A framework for exchanging information across interstellar distances—whether by laser, radio, or (if possible) FTL. Theory of Interstellar Communication asks: How could we talk to other stars? What would messages cost in time and energy? How would dialogue work when each exchange takes decades or centuries? The theory explores the practical and philosophical dimensions of talking across the abyss.
Theory of Interstellar Communication "A message to Alpha Centauri takes four years. A reply takes four more. Interstellar Communication theory asks: what kind of conversation can you have with eight-year gaps? Is it dialogue, or just two monologues separated by time? The theory explores the strange dynamics of talking when you'll never hear a reply from the same person."

Get the Theory of Interstellar Communication mug.The application of critical theory to science communication—examining how power, ideology, and social relations shape what science gets communicated, how it's framed, and to what ends. Critical Theory of Science Communication asks: whose interests does science communication serve? What assumptions are built into its forms? How might it be transformed to better serve democratic participation and social justice? It draws on critical theory, science studies, and communication theory to analyze and critique existing practices and to imagine alternatives.
Example: "He applied Critical Theory of Science Communication to the pandemic coverage, asking how communication had been shaped by political pressures, corporate interests, and institutional agendas. The coverage wasn't just information; it was politics. Understanding that was essential for knowing what to trust."

Get the Critical Theory of Science Communication mug.An approach to science communication that emphasizes questioning assumptions, examining power relations, and attending to the social and political dimensions of how science is communicated. Critical Science Communication doesn't just transmit scientific findings; it also communicates about the context, limits, and politics of those findings. It asks: who funded this research? What are its limitations? How might it be used? What perspectives are missing? Critical Science Communication is science communication with its eyes open, aware of its own role in shaping public understanding and public policy.
Example: "The journalist practiced Critical Science Communication: she didn't just report findings; she also reported who funded them, what limitations existed, what alternatives were being studied. Her readers were better informed—not just about what was known, but about how it came to be known."
