Summary/Abstract: The communication of scientific subjects is very important in today’s world, because it can impact the decisions taken everyday by all of us. The article provides a short overview of the science communication over time, with an emphasis on the ascension and decline of the `deficit model` and its replacement by professor of law and psychology at Yale Law School Dan Kahan’s ‘social cognition model’.
