The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Science Communication  inheres  to the capitalist relations of production. By making use of Marxist dialectics, the enquiry will elucidate the enquiry will elucidate that capital creates the gap between science and society that Science Communication is deemed to bridge, for capitalism deprives workers of the ‘intellectual potencies of the material process of production’ and makes both impossible and meaningless for them to appropriate scientific knowledge in a direct, unmediated manner. Along these lines, the paper will revisit the long-standing ‘deskilling-upskilling debate’ in order to shed light on what specific workers’ productive attributes form the  material basis  on which Science Communication grounded. I conclude that the existence of Science Communication responds to the fact that workers are devoid of any  control  over the  social  qualitative content of their work – the purpose and the mode of the labouring activity. In other words, Science Communication is premised on the  limited  form taken by the  productive consciousness  capital equips workers with in order just to reproduce itself.
