Description

In the Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created and directed to: Provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof. Horack and Treise (1998) define science communication as: the process through which a message of new knowledge or technology is delivered to a particular customer, in a way that adds value to the research itself, because knowledge has been shared with someone who wants or needs it for some use. Customers of science communications even include the traditional science information generator - the scientists themselves. Indeed at some level we all are users of scientific information.
