Science is often communicated to the public via either companies, politics, or the media. Which al have their own interests and issues in representing “scientific facts”.

Science is communicated using whatever means has an audience.

Science is also communicated much more precisely and accurately in scientific journals, but those generally aren't easily accessible to the wider public.

Do you have a suggestion to how we might solve those 2 overlapping problems?
