You can watch videos from #NASColloquia about #misinformation and the science of #scicomm in which @ibiology and @wondercollab team members @moefeliu and @elliotkirschner participated. http://ow.ly/X85n50tcwEM

Watch @ibiology team members @moefeliu and @elliotkirschner, who participated of the panel discussion "Connecting Facts to What People Already Know (or Think They Know): Storytelling and Narrative" #NASColloquia https://youtu.be/tcqDKHcGxlo

Stories can change misconceptions and stereotypes. Watch @moefeliu's #NASColloquia talk about how we at @ibiology and @wondercollab are using #storytelling to flip narratives about underrepresented scientists and scientists of color. https://youtu.be/m0p4SrReq_Q

Watch @elliotkirschner's #NASColloquia talk about how @wondercollab, a new #scicomm initiative at @ibiology, is approaching science #storytelling https://youtu.be/CfqLRu7IvVo using film #HumanNature as a case study http://ow.ly/jNPQ50tab4Q

Reflecting on our #NAScolloquia on #misinformation. This was my third time attending, and my first time as a co-organizer and panel moderator.

There is so much that goes into an event like this. I’d like to talk about some of that unseen labor & things I’m proud of. (1/8)

#NASColloquia "How can we be both rigorous and efficient?" @VBoudewyns just casually gave the most persuasive & succinct argument I've heard yet for interdisciplinary collaboration. Bravo.

Elizabeth Christopherson of The Rita Allen Foundation introducing our final panel of #NAScolloquia, with a lovely reminder of forests, trees, and seeing the big picture.

So grateful for the chance to spend the time with these outstanding humans at #NAScolloquia

#NASColloquia Duncan Watt's @NatureHumBehav paper "Should social science be more solution-oriented?" (which @scheufele just recommended we all read) is here https://go.nature.com/2WONtBt (though it is paywalled)

Now at #NAScolloquia, the amazing @cragcrest giving a delightful (and data-rich) talk on reader comments from her time at @FiveThirtyEight

#NAScolloquia Am grateful for @BronwynBevan’a talk on the scholarship around “use of research” - the methods, habits, & stances that support effective collaboration between practitioners and researchers. @storycollider is very excited to tackle research questions. Ask us!

#NASColloquia the article @cragcrest just mentioned is "There’s No Such Thing As ‘Sound Science’: The easiest way to undermine good science is to demand that it be made “sound.”"

#NASColloquia A claim like "every portrayal of science [in film] is evil" is an empirical claim. There are researchers that study this, and it's worth connecting to The National Academies Science & Entertainment Exchange @SciEntExchange http://bit.ly/2HXHV3Y

#NAScolloquia Panel 2 is opened by @sarakyeo who digs into social media, risk communication, and the role of emotions and humor. It’s worth your time to check out her research - faculty.utah.edu/u0986341-Sara_K._Yeo/res...

"We don't address this enough, I think," says @brossardd #NASColloquia "Scientists overstep. I know I have. I failed to recognize that using scientific authority to discredit the concerns of people in my community. Take people seriously."

Key distinction from @ViswanathLab: "Hard to reach" or "Hardly reached" because of inadequate design and effort? #NASColloquia

#NASColloquia - Here's @BrendanNyhan writing for @UpshotNYT in 2016 - https://nyti.ms/2I8xsSM
& Wood et al 2018 - http://bit.ly/2IaLqmY

tl;dr - #backfire effect not nearly as big a threat as anticipated

#NAScolloquia @BrendanNyhan opens with The Oatmeal cartoon about his work. He is attempting to do a meta-correction of how his research on #factchecking & information correction. It is *not* inevitable that you will induce a backfire, though it’s a risk

As @brossardd kicks off her talk at #NAScolloquia, she highlights @theNASEM report “Science Literacy: Concepts, Contexts, and Consequences” www.nap.edu/catalog/23595/science-li...

I had hoped there would an update to the Debunking Handbook (I remember reading this in 2012) but extremely happy to see it available in many language translations now http://bit.ly/2Ibu5u3 #NASColloquia
