Advising governments about science is essential but difficult. So train people to do it A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.

Every government needs effective science advisers; not every scientist is a born adviser but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap, as we argue in this week’s Nature’s editorial
