Every stakeholder in the atmospheric science community has a user-focused communication role built into our careers, be it to add value to theoretical or applied science, to provide data and forecasts to the public or possibly to share developments within our field. Even though science communication is a prerequisite for the field, many of us face challenges in adequately translating our work such that our users benefit optimally from our work. In this town hall we will openly discuss the successes, challenges and lessons learned with an esteemed panel of atmospheric scientists, policy experts, social scientists and communicators. We will encourage questions from the audience to spark discussion and thought with the panel.
