SUMMARY:American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Science-informed policies and decision-making are critical to ensuring a healthy\, prosperous\, and equitable future. Relationships of trust between scientists and policymakers are foundational to science-informed decision-making. We must work towards an ecosystem where the expertise of scientists and engineers is put to work collaboratively with policymakers and communicators to better identify and address future challenges and opportunities. Whether climate change\, public health\, or the responsible use of artificial intelligence\, science alone cannot solve the most pressing issues of our time. Only when scientists and policy-makers trust and collaborate with one another at the local\, national\, and global levels can the greatest challenges of our time be overcome. \nThe 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting—Science Shaping Tomorrow— invites us to celebrate and strengthen the projects and collaborations among science\, policy\, and communication that already exist and promote the infusion of scientific and technical expertise into the public discourse and policymaking. We will highlight not only the responses to challenges and crises\, but also marvel at what our future could be.

SUMMARY:Perspectives on Communicating Evolving Health and Science Information
DESCRIPTION:Effectively communicating about health and science with lay audiences as evidence evolves\, conflicts\, or is corrected is challenging. During this webinar\, hosted by the Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication\, panelists will discuss the nature of these challenges and their perspectives on equipping people to understand the nature of science and how it evolves. They will offer evidence-based insights into how media outlets portray change and conflicting evidence in science and how this affects people’s perceptions of science. Finally\, discussion will explore implications for improving science communication. \nModerator: \nBrian Southwell\, Distinguished Fellow and Lead Scientist for Public Understanding of Science at RTI International and Member of the Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication \nPanelists: \nSibel Erduran\, Professor of Science Education and Director for Research\, University of Oxford \nRebekah Nagler\, Associate Professor\, Hubbard School of Journalism & Mass Communication\, University of Minnesota \nIvan Oransky\, Distinguished Journalist in Residence\, New York University’s Arthur Carter Journalism Institute; Co-Founder\, Retraction Watch \n\n\n\nThe Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication brings together the diverse disciplines of science communication research and practice. Together\, we work to more effectively engage all communities with science in ways that are equitable\, evidence-based\, and inclusive.

SUMMARY:SciPEP 2023: New Insights for Communicating Basic Science
DESCRIPTION:On July 25-26\, 2023\, “SciPEP 2023: New Insights for Communicating Basic Science” explored new research\, findings\, and implications for how to support scientists communicating about basic\, discovery science. Science communication scholars\, practitioners\, and trainers came together to discuss new insights and generated ideas and opportunities to advance basic science communication research and practice. \nTwo years earlier\, SciPEP’s “Communicating the Future: Engaging the Public in Basic Science” conference virtually gathered more than 1\,200 people from 60 countries to explore what we know – and don’t know – about basic science communication. The sheer magnitude of the conference (and deep\, rich discussions there and since) reinforced that this is what the community is hungry for: evidence-based tools and resources to better equip scientists and professional communicators for basic science communication. A detailed summary of the 2021 conference and video recordings are available for reference. Also\, the SciPEP team published “Charting a Path for Public Engagement in Basic Science: A Prospectus\,” to summarize key questions that arose from the 2021 conference and a framework for addressing those questions. \nThe SciPEP team has identified (and commissioned) new research\, and convened or facilitated conversations\, that have deepened our understanding of key gaps and refined the questions identified during the 2021 conference. \nAttendees of SciPEP 2023 learned more about these findings\, connected with others to discuss new insights\, and helped plan the next steps for our community.
