Exploring the COVID-19 discourse in "The Conversation"

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic currently striking the world is accompanied by the marked necessity of communicating reliable and understandable scientific knowledge around the disease. In this situation, the complexity of the scientific language may not necessarily be accessible to the broader public. This makes it necessary to have communicators and scientists able to translate the implications of scientific work for our everyday lives.
