New White Paper on Best Practices for Multi-Institution Astronomy Communication
13 Enero 2021: Scientists and science communication professionals from a collection of institutes, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), NSF’s NOIRLab, NASA, AURA, and various European observatories, have published a white paper detailing best practices for science communication on behalf of large, multi-institutional collaborations. The biggest breakthroughs in science have always relied on collaboration, and the scale and complexity of astronomical collaborations have increased as astronomers set more and more complex goals. From the Event Horizon Telescopes’s worldwide network of 13 telescopes to the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, big science is increasingly done by large, international, multi-institutional collaborations. This plurality of scientists, instruments, and collaborations enables unprecedented scientific discoveries but also makes communicating results difficult. Communicating breakthroughs from collaborators scattered across the globe poses a formidable challenge in timing, cooperation, and coordination. Scientists and astronomy communication professionals from around the world gathered to address these challenges at a summit in November 2019. Drawing on …
