Jo Detavernier launches a new website about Science for PR – to help communications professionals with insights from diverse scientific disciplines.

In this episode, I have a chat with Jo on the why and how of a new website around this important topic. Let’s face it, we, as a profession, have concentrated more on the creative aspect than the scientific one in the last 50 years.

With this new website and the editorial team behind it, Jo is joining several other initiatives to connect the academic world with the public relations profession.

If the public relations profession wants to play an important strategic role for the organizations that it serves, it will only succeed in doing so if it is data driven.

We talk about the need for more information sharing, promotion and integration of scientific data in the PR world and the educational gap which exists.
