The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - the UN body charged with explaining the changing world - has produced a guide that helps scientists communicate their climate knowledge more clearly, more concisely and - crucially - more effectively to a wider public. It's produced six simple principles it suggests scientists take into consideration when talking about their work and research to a non-specialist audience. And although aimed at climate scientists, the advice holds good for any scientist looking to engage more widely.
You can download the full handbook - and read more about the thinking behind it - at climateoutreach.org, the UK charity which created the materials.
