“…The annual number of articles on the microbiome in The New York Times, The Times, and El País during the period 2007-2019 is 17, 11, and 8, respectively. To put those data into context, those numbers are considerably higher than the annual number of articles published in 2007-2017 in The New York Times, The Guardian, and El País on graphene (around two articles a year in all three newspapers), which is another subject of considerable scientific interest (Guasch et al, 2019). Newspaper articles on the microbiome are mainly covered in the form of news articles by staff or freelance journalists who write regularly for the three newspapers.…”

“…The human genome in the press also showed that most of the articles are written by the newspapers' own staff (Guasch et al, 2019) and that opinion articles have a high presence in The New York Times (Costa, 2003). The proportion of opinion articles on the microbiome in the three newspapers under study outweighs the number of opinion articles about graphene in The New York Times, The Guardian, and El País (Guasch et al, 2019), which may indicate social interest around the microbiome (Coppock et al, 2018). That is testament to the emerging role of the microbiome in health and disease that has led some scientists to call it the "forgotten organ" of the human body (O'Hara and Shanahan, 2006).…”

“…Previous studies have shown that leading quality newspapers played a key role in disseminating information and shaping perceptions about the human genome (Costa, 2003), personalized medicine (Marcon et al, 2018), graphene (Guasch et al, 2019), and emerging biotechnologies (Marcon et al, 2019).…”

The microbiome has captured the attention of researchers and newspapers. We studied how the subject is covered in The New York Times, The Times, and El País via DowJones Factiva (2007–2019), analyzing aspects that included article type, word count, authorship, topic, and citation of researchers, organizations, and journals. We found that 87.6% of newspaper articles (409/467) were news articles and most were longer than 300 words (396; 84.8%), with The New York Times devoting the highest proportion to newspaper articles over 1000 words (99; 45.4%). While basic science findings received the most attention from newspapers from 2007 to 2015, topics related to medicine and nutrition attracted increasing attention from 2016 to 2019. Newspapers showed a domestic preference for their respective researchers, organizations, and journals.

Citizen Science (CS) can help change the paradigm of science communication. To test this, 38 ongoing CS projects from Italy, Portugal and Spain have been selected by the H2020 NEWSERA project to act as pilots in the development of communication strategies, specifically targeting stakeholders in the quadruple helix. The projects, together with stakeholder representatives and science communication and journalism professionals participated in a series of workshops — #CitSciComm Labs — where communication strategies were co-designed, using adapted design-thinking methods. The innovative methodological approach is hereby presented and can be an inspiration for others willing to implement improved communication strategies to target different stakeholders.

“…The whole process was facilitated by the organizers, who guided the activities, challenged and motivated the participants, and encouraged them to share their thoughts and ideas. This served also to demonstrate the type of facilitation that is often used in CS co-creation activities, which have been shown to generate a creative and cooperative environment [10]. The tables were originally planned as small-group interactions; however, due to the high participation and the size of the room, there was a need to adapt to a big group dynamic, where parts of the discussion were performed within small "adjacent-people" groups.…”

Co-creation in practice: from bottom up to top down

Co-created citizen science projects are considered to enhance active, inclusive, and wide participation, and significantly improve the quality of public participation. However, fully co-created projects are still rare in citizen science (CS), where many projects aim primarily at overcoming the capacity of current research structures and involve participants only for the collection, and sometimes the analysis, of large-scale data. In addition, in many research areas professional researchers are used to having full control of their methodology and processes; in the majority of cases, they consider CS late in the process, when they already have a clear and well-defined idea of their research plans and needs, with little or no space left for the contribution of citizens. How can the citizen science community of practitioners better encourage and support real co-creation? This paper discusses a workshop at the Engaging Citizen Science Conference 2022 in which the authors shared their experiences of co-created CS projects from three existing CS centers: the Citizen Science Center in Zürich (Mondardini, Director),
