As our nation’s cultural voices evolve, how do we as science writers adjust our craft to connect with today’s bicultural and bilingual audiences?

Using the U.S. Latino and Hispanic experience as a focusing lens, our ScienceWriters2016 and ScienceWriters2018 sessions explored the nuances and approaches journalists and PIOs can consider to better communicate science in the United States — no matter what our audience’s cultural context might be.

In 2019, we compiled the insights and curriculum content from both CómoSciWri sessions into a single manuscript for consideration in the special journal collection «Inclusive Science Communication in Theory and Practice» curated by Erika Check Hayden, Mónica Feliú-Mójer, Raychelle Burks, and Thomas Hayden for Frontiers in Communication. The manuscript was peer-reviewed by Feliú-Mójer, Ana M. Porras, and Ivan Fernando Gonzalez Tobón, and published on February 27, 2020. The article is available via open access:
