Latest Issue

The Pantaneto Forum aims to promote debate on how scientists communicate, with particular emphasis on how such communication can be improved through education and a better philosophical understanding of science. 

The border area between philosophy and science is often neglected or worse still invaded by those whose agenda is suspect. As a result the public understanding of science is poorly served and reasoned debate is mired in rhetoric based on ignorance and even tyranny. A large part of the problem scientists have with the “Public Understanding of Science”, is the “Scientist’s Understanding of the Public”. This covers not only communication with the media, government and other sections of the public, but also communication with other scientists.

The Pantaneto Forum appears quarterly. The Forum is multidisciplinary with submissions welcome from scientists as well as philosophers, political and social scientists, or anyone who feels they want to make a contribution. We welcome articles up to 3000 words and short discussion comments on articles which have appeared in The Forum.

Please post or send any articles to me at nigel@pantaneto.co.uk. All submissions will be refereed.

We are also seeking to publish books in the area of science and philosophy. If you have a book proposal, please send in sample chapters, a précis of the book and a brief author biography.

At the moment we are seeking authors for our undergraduate series on Optics, Astrophysics or Science Communication.

From January 2021 the Forum will be issued every six months.
