Panel Organized by: Julia Krolik, Pixels and Plans | Art the Science

With growing divides in public and scientific opinion on controversial science policy issues like data privacy, vaccinations, and climate change, there has never been a more pressing time to improve how we communicate science. Join this session and take a step toward achieving this goal. In this interactive panel, we will offer a hands-on approach to communicating science through visual, participatory methods. Attendees will use a creative approach to engage with four themes chosen by the public in advance of the session. The aim is to build stronger connections among scientists, policy makers, and the public whom their work affects.
