About ComSHER

Established in 1991 and known as the Science Communication Interest Group until 2009, ComSHER provides a forum for the advancement of the field of science communication and the professional development of its members.

Objectives of the group include:

(1) Providing a community for those interested in science, health, environmental, and risk communication;

(2) Defining “science communication” to include the environment, health and technology, not just science in the narrowest sense;

(3) Supporting a diversity of research methodologies and approaches in an ongoing effort to facilitate robust research in the field.

The Group publishes a tri-yearly newsletter in January, June and October. It also hosts a number of peer-reviewed paper and poster sessions at the AEJMC Annual Convention in August.
