Recently, Vetenskap & Allmänhet, IVA, KVA, KSLA and the Swedish Research Council organized an ODE seminar on Science Communication. Result of discussions among the ca 100 participating scientists: scientists have much to gain by communicating their results with the society. You may read more here (in Swedish):

Ascension Island - SATO report IV
Georgetown, Ascension Island 2009-05-08
We have just been in the local school at Ascension Island, where Brendan was giving a talk about the turtles of Ascension Island for the school children. They all got excited and many of the children (but not all) in school have been to the beach to see the turtles laying their eggs. It is amazing how much interest the children show in the turtles and how exciting they find the thought that “their” turtles migrate as far as to Brazil and even to Uruguay. There the adults feed before they go back to lay eggs on Ascension, and the young ones grow up to become “teenagers” and more before they return to Ascension Island. Hopefully the kids from two schools will exchange letters and tell each other about themselves and their turtles. Kids and their interest can really connect across continents, and this makes me feel hope for the future with respect to the conservation of marine species like Ascension Island green turtles.
