  knowledge about research.

  communicate their knowledge in a language that most people can relate to. In
  that sense, he acts as a link between researchers and readers.

  part of Anders’ job is to convince researchers that it makes sense to
  communicate their material to non-researchers and to give them some tools on
  how to do it. That is why he holds courses, presentations and workshops in
  research communication.
