Not only, some findings are so difficult to believe that we start to associate scientific information to popular rumors.<\/p>\n<p>On his show this week, John Oliver pointed out the consequences of untrue or incomplete scientific information and how media has a major role in it:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scientific Studies: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Rnq1NpHdmw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>John Oliver speech was well aligned to the general sense. Nowadays, most people find themselves in doubt of the information they can believe in and how trustworthy science really is. Even though the criticism was mostly to media and people that feed the market of &#8220;scientific gossip&#8221;, scientific communication is a real issue.<\/p>\n<p>Surely media can have a major role in spreading scientific information. Nevertheless, they are not the most capable professionals to do so. Who are the most prepared professionals to communicate scientific information? Well, scientists!<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the scientific community is very closed within its own audience &#8211; which can sound a bit weird if we take into account that the prime goal of science is to impact positively human kind. Scientists have the most important role in communicating scientific information. However, we hardly see scientists trying to reach the lay public aiming to inform people of their new discoveries.<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/scientific-research\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6143 \" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preview-453678654323213-300x43.png\" alt=\"infographic63724 (2)\" width=\"412\" height=\"59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preview-453678654323213-300x43.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preview-453678654323213-768x111.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preview-453678654323213-1024x148.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/preview-453678654323213.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once most of us will not have the opportunity to go on TV and talk about our findings, we must find a way to spread well-based information and reach the lay audience.<br \/>\nThe develop of communication itself can help us with this task.
