QUEST – Promoting better public understanding of science.
A podcast about the landscape of European science communication today with a focus on views from female science researchers and specialist journalists. We speak to leading science communication professionals around Europe to learn about the challenges and current trends impacting their work, and to hear their advice on how other science communicators can improve the effectiveness of their communication activities.
‘QUEST – QUality and Effectiveness in Science and Technology communication' is a Horizon 2020 EU funded project. Read more: questproject.eu

Episode 3: Climate change
This episode looks at the challenges that scientists and journalists face when communicating about climate change. Should scientists aim to make confident statements and avoid discussing scientific uncertainties when talking to the general public about climate change? Rather than just feeding the public with negative stories, how can journalists educate and inform their audience, and help build the public’s agency and ability to respond to the crisis?
In this episode:
- Dr. Jana Sillmann, Research Director, CICERO Center for International Climate Research, Norway
- Philippa Nuttall Jones, Editor-in-chief, Energy Monitor, Belgium
Hosted by Barbara Schofield. Production by Atina Dimitrova.

Episode 2: Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is one of the biggest issues facing human society in the 21st century, and there is an urgent need to consider its ethical accountability and impact on diversity. This episode discusses how science communicators can strike a balance between describing the potential benefits of AI technologies (increased efficiency, automation, smarter decision-making) while at the same time pointing out the possible negative consequences and risks, including job losses, increased surveillance and worsened economic inequality.
In this episode:
- Ann Nowé, Professor and Head of the Artificial Intelligence Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
- Milena Merten, Lead Editor, ada, Germany
The audio clips of Eva Kaili are taken from an interview with EIT Digital in June 2020.
Hosted by Barbara Schofield. Production by Atina Dimitrova.
