Earthquakes, Pandemics and the Communication of Science

You don’t have to look far to see the impact of science on the world we live in. At any given moment, we are surrounded by the fruits of our discovery and innovation. But we often fail to acknowledge the importance of communication in the way science changes our world. Done well, communication can be transformative. Done badly, communication can lead to lives being lost.

Join this livestreamed presentation from Dr Shane Huntington OAM to discuss the critical nature of communication in any career that utilises science, taking you on a journey from earthquakes to pandemics. Chaired by Dr Jane Canestra MRSV, with panel discussion to follow featuring RSV CEO Mike Flattley, distinguished biophysical chemist Professor Frances Separovic AO, RSV science communicator Catriona Nguyen-Robertson and visual designer and technical communicator Molly Patton (Miscible). 

Produced by the Royal Society of Victoria as part of the Inspiring Victoria program in 2022.
