Summary: Media reporting of the sciences can shape public opinion. While it may be insightful and revelatory, it can also be misleading and sensationalist, even irresponsible. This distinguished panel will examine the positives and negatives of the media in science communication.

This event is free to attend and open to all, but a ticket is required. Tickets will be available to request online from Monday 6 February.
