It
can be a boon to science and scientists when the media gets science
right. But when the news perpetuates misinformation, it can have
negative consequences for research, funding, and policy. So how do you
communicate your expertise and knowledge effectively to reporters? And
how do you fight back against misinformation when it's the prevailing
media trend?
Register for our two upcoming webinars on communicating with the media.
You'll hear from scientists and science communication experts who have
firsthand experience working with reporters to make sure that the facts,
not myths, are the headline.
