SUMMARY:The brave cyberworld of science communication\, Chaos & Comple
 x Systems Seminar\, Dominique Brossard\, UW Department of Life Science
 s and Communication
DESCRIPTION:As more and more individuals turn to online environments t
 o follow scientific issues and find information about science\, recent
  research is science communication has focused on examining how these 
 online environments may shape public attitudes toward science and publ
 ic understanding of science. This introduction will discuss patterns o
 f science communication online and present recent research findings in
  that area. Notably\, I will introduce results of an experiment with a
  national sample of the American population testing the effects of com
 ments on science blogs on readersaEuroTM attitudes toward the scientif
 ic issues covered in such blogs. I will also explain the effects of cu
 rrent practices related to online searches on public understanding of 
 science. In light of these results\, challenges and opportunities for 
 science as an institution as well as for science and society will be d
 iscussed.
