The Future of Science Communication

Join us on the 23rd of March for a Panel Discussion about 'The Future of Science Communication'.

This discussion will centre around Richard Fisher’s recent paper titled ‘The translator versus the critic: A flawed dichotomy in the age of misinformation’, looking at how science communication must adapt to an increasingly digital age. The paper is available for free via SAGE Journals.

Panelists:

• Richard Fisher, BBC
• Steve Crabtree, BBC
• Helen Pearson, Nature
• Anjana Ahuja, Freelance Science Journalist (Financial Times, The Times)

The Panel Discussion will be held in G03, 26 Bedford Way and will last for around an hour, with 40 minutes of panel talk and 20 minutes of questions and answers with the audience. Doors will open at 1800, with the discussion starting at 1830.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception and an opportunity for you to meet UCL's first cohort of Science Communication Masters students. The drinks reception will be held in the Winter Garden at the UCL Institute of Child Health, 30 Guilford Street.
