| 2020/11/17 - 2020/11/17 | Starting from the European project Newsera, which aims to integrate citizen science in science communication as a way to open
science to society, this conversation took place between a researcher working in citizen science and science communication
and a naturalist doing citizen science. Is citizen science the best practice to break the barrier between scientists and non-scientists?
What is the view of a non-scientist on how science is communicated? In what ways can citizen science help improve science
communication?
