Science Communication in a Crisis
February 1 - 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Free
This workshop will be offered at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (January 30, 2024) and at MIT on (February 1, 2024).
The twenty-first century has seen an increase in extreme weather events, large-scale environmental disasters, and global health pandemics. Although science has enormous value to decision-makers during such crises, the disconnect between scientists and those who respond to and are affected by such events is enormous.
In this workshop, we will identify the principal challenges that scientists face when communicating with different stakeholder groups, offer advice on how to navigate the maze of competing interests, and deliver actionable science when the clock is ticking.
The lead instructor will be Chris Reddy, Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and faculty member of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography, and recent author of “Science Communication in a Crisis: An Insider’s Guide”.
