Abstract
Scientific advances in medicine and related fields demand an informed and participating public. However many established venues for public communication, such as the internet or news talk shows, become conflicted in their messaging, inserting doubt about the very processes of scientific progress and discovery. Museums have managed to rise above such conflicts, vetting discussion to provide an unbiased, safe, and balanced platform to facilitate the public’s understanding of issues, paving a road to policy debate and decision.
