IRIS Early Career Investigators Sponsored Webinar: Communicating Science with the Media and General Public
From: Patricia MacQueen <pmacquee@xxxxxx>
****************************************************************************************
Greetings all,
In light of recent events in Italy, the public debate over climate change, and the many instances in volcanology in which effective communication with non-scientists is critical, thought I'd pass this along from the MYRES listserv.
The next IRIS webinar will present "Communicating Science with the Media
and General Public" on January 9, 2013 from 3-4 pm ET (8-9 pm UTC).
Register to attend, here:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/195605906. You will then receive a
confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. The
presentation and subsequent Q&A session with the speaker will be
recorded and available for viewing within a few days. More information
on IRIS webinars, including links to previously recorded presentations
and related materials, may be found here: http://www.iris.edu/hq/webinar/
Presenter: Dr. Lucile Jones, United States Geological Survey
Summary: "Communicating scientific and technical information is not a
talent or done by luck. Research and experience reveal the best ways to
connect with an audience to communicate expert information as well as
the uncertainty that sometimes surrounds it. Dr. Lucy Jones has over 20
years of experience and has worked with psychologists, anthropologists
and other social scientists to understand how an audience receives and
responds to risk communication. She will share her insight into how to
communicate scientific research effectively to the media and general
public, and she'll share what researchers in risk communication field
say about how to be most effective."
You may contact Andy Frassetto (andyf@xxxxxxxx) with any inquiries.
