Communicating Science in a Post-Truth World

To help researchers improve their science communications, the Institutes of Energy and the Environment (IEE) and the Science Communication Program in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications will host "Communicating Science in a Post-Truth World," a plenary session featuring four national journalists. The session will take place at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17, in 233 HUB-Robeson Center. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. A question-and-answer session and a reception will follow the plenary.

The event will provide faculty, graduate students and other members of the Penn State community, as well as the public, with a behind-the-scenes look at the changing world of journalism. Leading journalists will discuss how the media is changing and what it means for communicating science to the public and policymakers.
