Science Plenary: Beyond 'Follow the Science': Navigating the Complexities of Social Media in Science Communication
The rise of social media has transformed the way scientific information is communicated, often blurring the lines between evidence-based research and misinformation. In this session, Dr. Carroll will explore the challenges of science communication in today’s digital landscape. He will examine why “following the science” is not always straightforward, highlighting the complexities of data interpretation, the risks of cherry-picking evidence, and the impact of fear-based messaging. Using real-world examples, Dr. Carroll will discuss how public health debates, ranging from COVID-19 to vaccine hesitancy, have shaped trust in science. He will provide strategies to help pharmacists navigate misinformation, engage with diverse audiences, and reinforce evidence-based communication in an era of increasing polarization.
