Rita Allen Foundation – Strengthen Connections between Science and Civic Life

We plan to extend these conversations about the nature of science in these Town Halls. We had planned for another pilot in Spokane on March 21 in partnership with Washington State University(WSU). Unfortunately, it has been postponed due to the coronavirus. If there is a silver lining, it is that this is a timely and important opportunity to talk about the nature of science and create a virtual conversation around the coronavirus as a case study. We have added a virtual town hall using the same upvoting forum, which will focus on the misinformation and disinformation surrounding COVID-19 — one of our areas of research expertise in the CIP and something we have been speaking frequently to the national media about over the last several weeks.
