10 September 2024

The CBC's Director, Professor Susan Michie, has had a new article published in the Journal of the British Academy.

The article discusses the following questions:
1. Was the model (framework) for translating scientific advice to policy-makers as effective as it could have been?
2. Could more have been done to communicate science and its implications for policy and practice to the public?
3. Should scientists speak to policy-makers and the public about matters beyond their particular area of study, reflecting their multidisciplinary working and understanding?
4. Do scientists have a social responsibility to discuss policy implications of scientific evidence and challenge politicians when their statements or behaviour go against prevailing evidence?
