There's an excellent book on this topic published by the Union of Concerned Scientists:

Sent: Thursday, 07 April, 2011 01:17 To: [email protected] Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Disseminating scientific thought to the general public: are scientists making science readily accessible? Dear all: I am interested in your thoughts. If needed, I can elaborate more on these questions. Are scientists making scientific findings readily accessible to the general public? What can scientists do to improve dissemination of scientific information to the general public? Do scientists need to be involved in teaching the public about the scientific method? Thank you, Laura
