Beyond the Sage on the Stage: Communicating Science and Contemporary Issues Effectively

“A vital resource for scientists, educators, and communicators, Seethaler’s book equips you with the tools to engage, inform, and inspire audiences amid today’s scientific complexities. It dispels communication myths and offers a roadmap to navigate challenges, empowering you to communicate science and contemporary issues with clarity and impact.” Rebecca M. Calisi Rodríguez, National Geographic Explorer and Associate Professor of Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior, University of California, Davis

“Beyond the Sage on the Stage provides an accessible, readable, and wonderfully useful guide to effective communication. The hierarchical organization progresses to successively higher-level goals, and the table of contents makes it easy to find topics of interest and the answers to questions. Seethaler provides many examples illustrating successful and unsuccessful communication, and the book’s exercises will be valuable for those wishing to improve their communication skills. This book is a rich trove of wisdom and belongs on everyone’s bookshelf.” Nicholas C. Spitzer, Atkinson Family Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology, University of California, San Diego
