UC Center for Public Engagement with Science
Working to expand and enrich the interface between science and the public to benefit all stakeholders
Did you miss Dr. Goldenberg’s talk about her research and book on vaccine hesitancy this week? You can still hear it here, hosted by the Mercantile Library.
Dr. Goldenberg stressed the ways that doctors and scientists can change their language, listen to and address concerns, and consider the wide variety of reasons that individuals may feel uncertain about vaccines. You can also learn more about her work in her book Vaccine Hesitancy: Public Trust, Expertise, and the War on Science.
We want to give everyone a few updates about how the spread of COVID-19 will impact Center activities going forward. Of course, this information is subject to change as time goes on.
Workshop: The Workshop on Public Engagement with Science that was previously scheduled for May 13-15 has been postponed. We are currently working on figuring out new dates, and will make an announcement when that is figured out.
Public Engagement with Science Graduate Class: The University of Cincinnati has extended Spring Break through Wednesday March 25. After that date classes will move primarily online. The Public Engagement with Science Graduate Class will also therefore be moving online. Projects with community partners will continue, with appropriate modifications.
Social Engaged Philosophy of Science Research Group (SEPOS): SEPOS meetings are cancelled from March 13 to April 10.
If you have any questions about Center activities please contact Director Angela Potochnik at potochaa@ucmail.uc.edu or Post-Doc Melissa Jacquart at jacquama@ucmail.uc.edu.
