Open Science by Julian Cribb and Tjempaka Sari

Posted on by

A few months ago Scope carried the article (repeated below) about a new book on science communication. The article has a link to download a free chapter (which is a gem on science writing) for ASC members. You have to log-in as a member to the ASC website, use this link to access the article, http://www.asc.asn.au/2010/03/open-science-preview/, and then use the link to the chapter.

Not only is the chapter worth a read but so is the rest of the book.

I’m repeating this message to remind members (including myself) that they will need to log-in to the ASC website to post articles to the website and to access occasional members-only items. So much to remember and so easy to forget.

Whether you tweet, YouTube, Facebook, blog, email, print or speak about your science you need a well constructed and clear message to communicate effectively.

For tips on good science writing read an ASC members-only preview chapter from Julian Cribb and Tjempaka Sari’s new book, Open Science: Sharing Knowledge in the Global Century http://www.asc.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Open-Science-Ch2.pdf (link available to ASC members after log-in to ASC website).

This book offers practical ways to communicate science in a highly networked world flooded with information yet thirsting for knowledge. My thanks to Julian for providing this free taste of his book.

Copies of “Open Science” by Julian Cribb and Tjempaka Sari may be ordered from CSIRO Publishing: http://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/20/pid/6195.htm
