Reporting and writing about science\, in addition to conducting it\, is a craft that has always demanded precision and a thoughtful approach. But the rise of so cial media and the attendant democratization of information sharing has pre sented unique challenges to the conscientious researcher and science journa list. As mis- and dis-information have come to form larger portions of an a verage person’s daily information diet\, both prior to and during the COVID -19 pandemic\, the need for solid\, dependable information on science\, pub lic health\, epidemiology\, and related fields has increased. This situatio n makes research and trustworthy science communication not only more challe nging but more important than ever to practice and share. Bob Grant\, Edito r in Chief of The Scientist\, will give attendees an insider's per spective on these challenges and insight into how the job of science commun icator has changed over the past decade. We’ll also discuss what role resea rchers can play in turning the tide of misinformation while welcoming a gre ater slice of the public into the sphere of true evidence-based and critica l thinking.
