Description: The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for increased scientific literacy across the population. The accessibility of information online coupled with the insufficient skills to understand it, much less interpret it, has resulted in a misinformation epidemic that represents a threat to public health, companies, communities, and individuals. - How can we achieve this science literacy? - What are the individual and societal costs of not addressing this issue? We discuss strategies and business opportunities for scientific communication, including how the scientific community packages science information, the role of the media in sharing information, and how individuals encounter and react to it.

This program is moderated by Nini Munoz, PhD, Sr. Electrical Design Engineer for Garmin.
