In early April Matt Nisbet and Chris Mooney published a policy forum piece in Science entitled “Framing science”, causing quite a furor in the blogosphere. The debate how now reached the pages of Science in the form of a series of letters to the editor, including a response from Nisbet and Mooney. As I made clear in posts at the time (here and here), I think Nisbet and Mooney are onto something really important: “when applied responsibly and ethically, framing can be a valuable tool for scientists in engaging nontraditional audiences.”
