SUMMARY:Facts Are Not Enough: Science Communication and Audience Emotions
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, there isn’t “one weird trick” to communicating bug science. We know that emotions are important in persuading people and encouraging evidence-based decision making. But how do you make a real connection in a time of misinformation and political division? Join Gwen Pearson\, science communicator and entomologist\, to explore this topic in our upcoming webinar. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on the Xerces Society’s YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n\nGwen Pearson is an award-winning science communicator with a PhD in Entomology. In addition to her work writing for WIRED Magazine\, Highlights For Kids\, and other science news outlets\, she’s run an insect zoo and worked as an Extension Entomologist in various roles. She’s now retired and is an Outreach Ambassador for the non-profit Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. \nTo request a reasonable accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility\, please contact outreach@xerces.org.
