Happy Media and Information Literacy Week to all who celebrate!I do, and this year, I had the absolute honour of speaking with Professor Marina Joubert, a trailblazing science communication expert from Stellenbosch University. In line with this year's MIL Week theme, “We All Play a Part – Media and Information Literacy for the People,” we talked about science literacy and the role the scientific community should play in promoting information/scientific literacy. She also shared tips about how to communicate uncertainty as a scientist, why scientists should engage in science communication and public engagement, and the role of facts and feelings in these efforts.So if you’re a scientist, science communicator, or public engagement practitioner, you’ll want to spare half an hour today and listen to this conversation.Professor Marina Joubert is an associate professor of public engagement with science at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. She leads the Public Engagement Lab within the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST).Following a career of more than 20 years in science communication practice, she joined the university in 2015 to start a new teaching and research programme in public communication of science. At Stellenbosch, she is responsible for an extensive education and supervision programme and a diverse research portfolio.Her international research collaborations include the EU-funded Eco2Wine Project and the ‘Just Transitions for Anti-Microbial Resistance’ global convening funded by The British Academy. She serves as deputy editor of the Journal of Science Communication (JCOM) and is an honorary lifetime member of the global PCST (Public Communication of Science and Technology) Network.
