How certain is certain enough? | LSHTM When faced with a new health threat, there are three crucial questions we must consider. What is going on? What can we do about it? And how can we communicate these things effectively? This talk will

I'm giving a free public talk asking 'How certain is certain enough?' at @lshtm.bsky.social on Monday 24th November at 5.30pm, as part of the Global Health Lecture Series. From epidemic response and clinical trials to online misinformation and AI, I'll look at how truth emerges – and why it falters.

SAVE THE DATE: The 2026 IEA European Congress of Epidemiology and 70th @socsocmed.bsky.social Annual Conference will take place in London, UK on 8th-11th September 2026!
