A conversation with Prof. Ayelet Baram-Tsabari

Science communication and science education are two scholarly communities that had little contact with each other, but in recent years, some cross-pollination is beginning to emerge. In what ways can they contribute to each other? In this episode, we discuss this issue with Ayelet Baram-Tsabari, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education in Science and Technology at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and head of the Applied Science Communication research group.
