Roundtable: Missed Information - Public Distrust of Science

With technology moving information and misinformation at the speed of light, the public consistently questions both the accuracy and value of scholarship. In our increasingly politicized environment, how can we work around partisan politics, elevate accurate information, and increase public trust in the integrity of research? Professor Burness will address these issues and discuss how we can create a more informed future. ---
