communicated to the public? What can be done to address scientific 
misconceptions and misinformation?

Journalists and scientists will share insights on working with the 
media. We will share case studies and experiences of people Asking for 
Evidence behind claims in policy, media and advertising.

This free evening event runs from 5.30 to 7.30pm and includes pizza 
served in the break. It's open to everyone: the public, students, 
communicators, early career researchers, scientists, engineers and medics.
