According to the writer, effective communication is essential if scientists want to gain support for their research. There are several ways in which this goal is being pursued.

PR experts are employed by numerous scientific organizations to promote and disseminate research. Some scientists write articles, often distinguished by their effectiveness and accessibility. Science programs on TV have also boosted the subject image. Presenters such as Brian Cox, formerly a musician, now a physicist, have also helped make science seem less geeky. Thanks to companies such as SciVee, scientists can also present their research online in presentations.

Some scientists still need to work on improving their media image. The writer suggests that young scientists should be media-savvy in effective communication skills, while they are still old-fashioned.
