• explain what TLO 4: Communication entails by discussing each aspect of TLO 4.1 and elaborating on the meaning and implications of those aspects
• review the literature on scientific communication, from the perspective of both the curriculum designer and the professional science communicator
• compile an annotated bibliography of literature and resources for scientists and science communicators, which will include sources from a variety of media and exemplars of student work within each modality
• provide detailed examples from Australian undergraduate science programs of curriculum design, teaching and assessment tasks that exemplify good practice in promoting science communication skills.

Like all distributions, it raises issues of justice. This paper discusses core issues for contemporary science communication by mapping them onto well-defined theories of distributive justice. Importantly, considerations of epistemic justice force us to look not only at the classic recipients (the audience), but also at the distributors (science communicators), as they are, themselves, also recipients of knowledge.
