    In an age of misinformation and growing challenges to public trust in science, this transatlantic event brings together leading voices from research, journalism, and science communication to discuss how evidence can be included in a public discourse with ever changing rules and technology.

    Especially in the field of health, a scientifically informed public matters for building resilient, innovative societies. Speakers include Ellen Horne (New York University), Vivian Trakinski (American Museum of Natural History), and Soren Wheeler (WNYC, Radiolab), Helen Fischer (Heidelberg) and Marvin Fendt (LMU Munich and Cornell University) moderated by Bernhard Goodwin (Munich Science Communication Lab).
