Will you please just listen to me? Have you ever wondered why fact-based explanations of ground-breaking scientific research don’t always change minds or behaviors? In this talk, social science communicator Anne Toomey will explain the roots of communication issues and suggest new ways to engage with the world. This talk will explore what leads to shifts in attitudes and behaviors, and how scientists and stakeholders can engage effectively with communities and policymakers for real-world change.
