This version of the communiction primer comprises two interlocking parts: Pat 1, a pratical section, intended to prepare you for public interactions, and Part 2, a theoretical section that provides social and technical bases for the practices recommended in Part 1. The mutual support of practice and theory is very familiar in science and clearly requires a willingness to observe and revise our prior assumptions - in this document, we invoke both. We hope that is offering will represent a step both towards improving practice and maturing the theory of practical science communication.
