Gregory Fatos Selita Yulia Kovas Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Recently, more effort has been devoted to ensuring that scientific knowledge can be mobilised to make a positive impact on individuals and society. Scientists are encouraged, and even required, to communicate their findings beyond academic circles – to inform interested groups. However, there can be challenges with language use and communicating concepts; interpreting results; and from time pressure to communicate results rapidly. Here, we discuss intended and unintended consequences of science communication. We emphasise the importance of training to achieve these communication skills and working with non‐academic partners – to mitigate potential harm from misinterpreted results and to ensure that science communication is maximally beneficial. 10.1111/jcpp.14032 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
