Beyond incivility
Correction of misinformation is a top priority for scientific organizations. Concern over misinformation is particularly prominent in social media, which is characterized by incivility. Because correcting misinformation online can expose scientists to uncivil responses or personal attacks, understanding barriers and motivations to correct misinformation among individual scientists is critical to identifying how institutions can best support scien…
Examining quality information flow in rural communities during disasters
Place-based communication methods and prior knowledge increase public perceptions regarding West Nile virus risk and personal protective behaviors in Colorado
This study suggests that public health organizations could utilize place-based information regarding real-time, real-place risk to guide public health decision-making during emergence of vector-borne infectious diseases. Additionally, there appears to be a synergy of messaging with a beneficial effect of pre-existing knowledge, highlighting the need for diverse, longitudinal messaging strategies to reach people multiple times
Stop the spread
Teaching science in an age of disinformation and misinformation requires empowering students to address inaccurate information in evidence‐based ways. Science communication scholarship highlights the growing importance of inclusive and relational approaches for addressing misinformation. Thus, we developed, implemented, and evaluated an interdisciplinary, graduate‐level course for students in STEM, journalism/communication, and public health to l…
All STEM students should learn inclusive science communication
Inclusive Science Communication training for first-year STEM students promotes their identity and self-efficacy as scientists and science communicators
Introduction It is critical for STEM students to be able to discuss science with diverse audiences, yet many STEM students do not receive adequate training in these skills. When students have the skills to communicate about science, they may feel a resulting sense of empowerment as a scientist as well as help members of society understand science. Methods In this study, we developed, implemented, and evaluated a workshop that gave students unders…
ChatGPT for assessment writing
What is the educational challenge?Medical schools invest significant resources into the creation of multiple-choice items for assessments. This process is costly and requires faculty training. Recently ChatGPT has been used in various areas to improve content creation efficiency, and it has otherwise been used to answer USMLE-style assessment items.What are the proposed solutions?We proposed the use of ChatGPT to create initial drafts of multiple…
To Vaccinate or Not? The Role Played by Uncertainty Communication on Public Understanding and Behavior Regarding Covid-19
Communication regarding COVID-19 vaccines requires evidence-based strategies. We present findings from a quantitative survey measuring participants’ understanding, trust, and decision-making in response to information conveying low or high uncertainty regarding the vaccine. Communication conveying high uncertainty led to lower self-assessed understanding but higher actual understanding of possible outcomes. Communication conveying low uncertainty…
