Knowledge Translation

Knowledge Translation is the practice of effective translation of technical information to either the public or policy arenas.

There remains a large gap between science and policy, and science and public engagement and understanding. This results in conflict and controversy, frequently in areas where the science is unclear or information is misleading.
