Sommario/riassunto

This guide, published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, provides a comprehensive framework for effective communication of chemistry in informal settings. It aims to equip chemists and professionals in related fields with the necessary tools to engage the public in understanding the significance of chemistry. The guide emphasizes the importance of setting clear communication goals, understanding available resources, designing and evaluating communication activities, and reflecting on the outcomes. It highlights the need for chemists to foster public



appreciation for chemistry, develop informed consumers, empower citizen participation, and encourage workforce development. The guide is intended for chemists who wish to effectively share the joy and knowledge of chemistry with diverse audiences outside traditional academic settings.
