Science communication is severely hampered because the incentive system in research organizations and universities is too often based solely on the number of published papers and citations. A key to broader acceptance of science communication could therefore be to increase appreciation for science communication and anchor it in the academic incentive system.
In this episode, I discuss how this can be done with Markus Weißkopf. Markus is the managing director of Wissenschaft im Dialog, which has around 60 employees and is an important promoter of science communication in the German higher education system.
