This episode wraps up our Navigating the Pandemic mini series! We dive into how to have hard conversations, especially when misinformation is at the centre of it. We sit down with two experts, Dr. Krishana Sankar and Timothy Caulfield. Dr. Krishana Sankar is the Science Advisor and Community Partnerships lead at ScienceUpFirst, a national initiative that works with a collective of independent scientists, researchers, health care experts and science communicators to debunk misinformation online. Timothy Caulfield is the Canada Research Chair in Health law and Policy, a professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of public health and research director of the health law institute at the University of Alberta and a member of the Executive Advisory Team at ScienceUpFirst. In this episode, we discuss tips and strategies on how we can approach hard conversations, especially related to the pandemic.
We mention a few resources in the episode. At the beginning of the episode, we suggest that you learn more about the 94 calls to action laid out in the Truth and Reconciliation. Here is the website that Helen was referring to where you can get more information about what those calls to action are, and the progress Canada has made to fulfill each one. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform-single/beyond-94?&cta=1
Near the end of the episode, we talk a bit more about ScienceUpFirst and how you can get involved. You can visit https://www.scienceupfirst.com/ to learn more about ScienceUpFirst! You can also find them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Youtube @ScienceUpFirst in English, and @LaSciencedAbord in French.
