Abstract
Scientific knowledge is often obscure and the same “science producers” are not always able to make it understandable to all. Thus a mediator is needed (journalist, teacher, explainer) in order to convey scientific news in a correct and simple way, taking it from the research world into society. The explainer acts as one of these mediators between science and society.
