... Part B of the report is a guide for chemists titled Communicating Chemistry: A Framework for Sharing Science, which is also provided as a separate, stand-alone document. In the guide, the committee summarizes the framework in practical terms to support chemists and organizations working with chemists in creating effective communication and learning activities in settings outside of formal schools.

... that examined the current state of the art with regard to communicating chemistry in informal settings and a white paper on evaluation. A FRAMEWORK FOR COMMUNICATING CHEMISTRY Based on the research and a review of effective practices, the committee created a fiveelement framework, the Framework for Effective Chemistry Communication.

... In considering the research that led to the five-element framework, the committee identified the following areas as research gaps: • research on informal learning and science communication specific to the field of chemistry, including public perceptions and understanding of chemistry; • research on digital media for chemistry communication; and • research on how current policies guiding chemistry education and training, research work, and funding influence the extent and quality of chemistry communication activities, and how these policies might be changed to provide more support for com munication activities. The committee also noted opportunities for collaboration across organizations and institutions to support the implementation of the framework.
