A Commentary on "The Public Communication of Science: Angular Stone of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease"

Abad Enriquez*

The goal of this short commentary is to share some thoughts on the article entitled “The public communication of science: Angular stone of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease” . As part of a larger research project in which we identify and analyze the scientific communication strategies that Rockefeller philanthropic initiatives carried out in Mexico during the first stages of the so-called “Green Revolution”, the paper aimed to identify the importance and main innovations of the Public Communication of Science (PCS) made by the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm (RSC) during its five years of life. Based on its results, the paper provides fresh perspectives on science communication research; although, we note that the archive investigations are much dependent on an North American worldview of science.
