Abstract
Science communication is an increasingly important field of activity,research and policy. It should not be assumed however, that science communication practices provide equitable and empowering opportunities for everyone. Social exclusion, inclusion and equity are key challenges for practitioners, researchers, policy makers and funders involved with science communication. In this com-mentary I reflect on the limitations of the ‘barriers approach to understandingsocial inclusion and exclusion from science communication and argue instead that a more complex perspective is needed. I conclude that placing equity at theheart of science communication is crucial for developing more inclusive sciencecommunication practices
