Relationships necessitate communication, and the relationship between science and government is no exception. Johannes Vogel, president of the Berlin Natural History Museum and President of the European Citizen Science Association, believes that the current relationship between science and government is strained for this very reason – poor communication. When government, science, and society all speak and understand different languages, forming a healthy relationship is very difficult. In this session, Johannes Vogel discusses the necessity for finding a common language between stakeholders to improve future relationships, policy discussions, and outcomes. He provides exceptional stories, experiences, and anecdotes about how these fields currently work together and what we should expect from them in the future. Change, however, only starts with a courageous self and a willingness to improve in an ever-changing world. The current culture surrounding how failure is being dealt with in both government and science must be transformed to ensure these fields are ready for the future.
