New special issue on emotions in science communication now online 

JCOM has just released a special issue, “Emotions and Science Communication,” bringing together research and practice on how feelings shape public engagement with science. Guest editor Luisa Massarani (with Neta Shaby and Daniel Silva Luna) underscores the need for deeper inquiry: “Despite their significant role, emotions are under-theorised and under-researched in science communication… We hope this special issue inspires others to explore the many facets of emotions in sci-comm and to carry out more studies on the subject.”

The collection features international contributions spanning risk and health communication, environmental topics, and public engagement, offering evidence and tools for practitioners and researchers alike.
