We have to recognise that the scientific progress has reached a level of depth and complexity that it is hard to explain and to communicate every aspect. String theory is simply not trivial. Climate research deals with lots of uncertainties. Furthermore…
The responsibilities for design are fairly obvious. Communicating the history, the process and the results of science to a wider public is an immense design challenge. In this context, design offers great powers and possibilities. Be it the creation of a museum exhibit, the design of an information graphic or the interactive simulation of an experiment, design can convey scientific insights in an intelligent, informative and delightful way. In order to achieve this, the designer has to work closely with scientists and communicators and convey the right message and the right amount of complexity.
