This picture really captures it, I think.

The NAS's Science of Science Communication Sackler Colloquium is modeling what the practice of science & science-informed policymaking needs to do: start listening to the science of science communication, the foundational insights of which reflect the work of Kahneman (and Amos Tversky, Paul Slovic & Baruch Fischhoff, among others) on risk perception.

I feel very optimistic today!
