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."

O.A.C. Communicators Of The Week

The O.A.C. is known as the Ohio Athletic Conference.

O.A.C. Communicators of the week is a prestigious award that is given to two people who display excellence in all aspects of communication. These recipients show verbal communication and non-verbal communication skills both on and off the playing field. They are role models and beautiful creatures people cannot take their eyes off of, the type of people you want to take home to meet your parents, the type of people who get Nobel Peace Prizes and who find the cure for Cancer. Most respect them, some disrespect them, but jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery.
