Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted science, but also reinforced the relevance and credibility thereof, reinstating the paramount importance of facts, as well as science literacy and understanding. The global crisis has demanded of science communicators (science journalists, researchers and communication specialists) heightened effort and a different approach.-
