+**Science communication and public health.**
+== Two Models: ==
+|        ^ model        ^ methods                             ^ influences ^
+^ old    | transmission | top down dissemination of knowledge | public     |
+^ new    | transaction  | consultation / dialog / discussion  | scientists |
+In the transaction model scientists and general public meet on equal terms and share their knowledge.
+This leads to a win /win situation:
+  - More contextualized science.
+  - More societal legitimacy of science.
+  - More implementation of research.
+Anticipated problems:
+  * small impact on policy and science.
+  * little public interest.
+  * results are not representative in any general sense.
+  * expensive.
+  * how to deal with science-illiteracy among non-scientific participants.
