Concatenation Science is the euphemism for a variety of largely (but not solely) volunteer activities under-taken by the Concatenation team, and in this instance primarily by Jonathan Cowie, that are related to science communication in a variety of specialist senses. The Concatenation team itself (beyond Jonathan) engages in projects that largely focus on genre fiction and occasionally science. As 'Concatenation Science' suggests, it is concerned with the more science-orientated activities than that undertaken by the rest of the Concatenation team and which relate science to a broader community. The communities most often engaged with have ranged from 'the public' (in the broadest sense) to policy makers as well as those concerned with science in fiction writing which itself has a further larger audience of readers and (considering books are sometimes turned into film) cinematic audiences. Most Concatenation ventures are primarily UK based but projects have also been conducted in continental Europe.

'Concatenation' itself means the joining, linking or the bringing together of things or people.

The 'science' involved includes: general science (for interactions with genre arts); and biosphere, energy and climate change science (for interactions with policy-makers, academia and others).
