    Abstract

    What is it that really makes communicating science a good, moral thing to do? And are there limits to the potential 'goodness' of science communication? In this article, we argue it is time we consider what an ethics of science communication might look like. Not only will this help us figure out what doing the right, moral thing might be. It also invites us to think through one of the most perplexing, challenging and pressing question for this still emerging field: what are the core unifying features of science communication?.
