SUMMARY:SMALL TOWN UNIVERSE documentary screening and conversation
DESCRIPTION:SMALL TOWN UNIVERSE explores life in Green Bank\, West Virginia – a remote community located inside the National Radio Quiet Zone. Here\, the use of wireless technologies such as cell phones and Wi-Fi is heavily restricted to prevent interference with the nearby Green Bank Telescope\, the world’s largest fully-steerable radio telescope. \n\n\n\nThe film follows four unique residents whose lives are intertwined with the town and its namesake telescope: a young woman dreaming of a career in astrophysics\, a retired engineer reflecting on his legacy\, a longtime local rooted in Green Bank’s history\, and a newcomer embracing life off-the-grid. \n\n\n\nAs federal funding hangs in the balance\, their futures are inextricably tied to the survival of this scientific marvel and the Quiet Zone that makes it all possible. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this special screening! RSVP Link coming soon \n.

SUMMARY:Innovative Research and Techniques in Astronomy Communication
DESCRIPTION:A JOURNEY TOWARDS EFFECTIVE ASTRONOMY COMMUNICATION\n\nThe IAU Symposium on Innovative Research and Techniques in Astronomy Communication will take place from November 2 to 6\, 2026\, at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Mitaka\, Tokyo. \nThe groundbreaking hybrid event will unite experts from astronomy and science communication\, providing a platform to showcase their work\, raise awareness of their needs\, identify and develop global standards and policies where necessary\, and empower astronomers to access the information they need to enhance their communication practices. \n\n\nKEY TOPICS\n\n\n\n\n\nINNOVATIONS IN DATA VISUALISATION TECHNIQUES\nAs Scientific data becomes more complex\, there is a rising need for our visualisation techniques to catch up. Explore new and accessible ways to communicate your results. \n\n\nLEVERAGING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR COMMUNICATION IN THE “POST-COVID” ERA\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on our community\, affecting everything from communication to collaboration. How can we utilise this as an opportunity for development in the field of astronomy and astronomy communication? \n\n\nCOMBATING MISINFORMATION\, MAKING ASTRONOMY RELEVANT\nWith the rise of LLMs\, AI\, and GenAI\, misinformation is a rapidly growing issue in science communication. How can we continue to make astronomy research\, communication and education relevant in the “Cognitive Age”? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTRUST IN SCIENCE AND\nTRUST IN SCIENTISTS\nThough research has shown trust in science and scientists to be on the rise\, there is still a need to improve efforts to foster relationships with our publics\, build trust\, and maintain transparency. How can collaborative efforts shape the landscape of science and science communication? \n\n\nPROFESSIONALISATION OF ASTRONOMY COMMUNICATION\nAstronomy communication is a growing field of researchers and practitioners who investigate evidence-based practices\, structures\, and frameworks to improve our modes of communication. Build the bridges you need to ensure your work remains relevant and impactful. \n\n\nCOMMUNICATING ASTRONOMY WITH FUNDERS AND POLICYMAKERS\nCommunicating science goes beyond talking with researchers or the public. Policymakers and funders are essential audiences to ensure the future of the field. What is the most effective way to work within these communities?
