Not to worry, it means "The act of divulging" or else "public awareness of science" (oddly).
I mean, it's not so odd. di-vulgar-tion; the result of making public (something).
Well,
divulge
divulgate
divulgation
But yeah, I just find it odd that it's a couple of steps removed from the obvious usage. I ask myself, "Why science specifically?" and "Why public awareness rather than making the public aware?"
