SUMMARY:Personal and Social Drivers of Vaccine Hesitancy
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 9\, at 2:00 PM ET \nThe United States is one of the few countries in the world with enough COVID-19 vaccine doses to protect the vast majority of its populace. Yet hesitancy about vaccines generally\, and COVID vaccines in particular\, is stalling uptake. SciLine’s next media briefing will cover the role of social values and personal belief systems\, including religion\, in people’s decisions to get vaccinated or not; the factors driving parental choices about whether to vaccinate their children; and how public health messages and policies can influence vaccine hesitancy and acceptance. Scientific experts will brief reporters and take questions on the record. \nWHAT: SciLine Media Briefing: Personal and Social Drivers of Vaccine Hesitancy\, with an opportunity for Q&A \nWHEN: Wednesday\, June 9\, at 2:00 PM ET \nWHO: \n\nDr. John Evans\, University of California\, San Diego\nDr. Rupali Limaye\, Johns Hopkins University\nDr. Sean O’Leary\, University of Colorado\nSciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing.\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:What journalists need to know about research integrity
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday | June 30\, 2021 | 11 a.m. ET (4 p.m. GMT)  \nREGISTER NOW! \nNever has it been more important to foster trust in scientific evidence than in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Over the past year\, journalists have served as the key link between the experts and the public person\, explaining scientific studies on COVID-19 in near real-time. Just as science has helped solve issues related to the pandemic\, it remains of pressing importance to address a host of global challenges in health\, as well as climate change and social injustice. And with an ever-increasing amount of misinformation\, arming journalists with access to reliable resources – and the skills to challenge bad science – is vital. \nRegister today to hear experts from Cochrane and Wiley discuss the importance of research integrity and ways in which these organizations ensure scientific evidence is accurate\, transparent and trustworthy. Journalists who attend this complimentary webinar will: \n\nLearn how to spot bad science\nHear about steps publishers take to safeguard the scientific record\nFind out which questions are most effective to authenticate and interpret study data\nDiscover what technology is used to validate research content\nUnderstand the impact of bias and need for diversity in research studies\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION INFORMATION”¯  \nJournalists may register for this complimentary Science Talks webinar HERE.  \nIf you are not able to attend the live one-hour session\, the webinar will be recorded for later viewing. \n
