A full-day free e-conference on the science of science communication. This summit happened on May 3, 2026. The agenda was planned to give a cross section of some of the most important topics I think anyone doing scicomm should know about - and probably anyone navigating the interwebs, or thinking about misinformation and science.
Calling all scicomm folks and organizations: the replay will be helpful to you and your network! And science professors who encourage students to communicate their science - the insights at this summit will give them important tools to succeed at that!
This initiative is only as successful as our reach, and that’s where you can help. Please help us spread the word by sharing the replay with your network. Commenting on the livestream also helps give the summit more visibility and is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
