ABSTRACT

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
