As scientists, we want to make discoveries that benefit society and people. To make a societal difference, we need our research findings to become or influence governmental law and policy. Therefore, we need to reach policy makers. However, translating research findings into meaningful and understandable context for policymakers is challenging. Furthermore, the language they use and their motivations are vastly different from what we in science are used to. So how do scientists communicate scientific advice to politicians?
