ASC-Victoria brought together a panel
ASC-Victoria brought together a panel of biomed researchers at the Science, Technology and the Future (http://2013.scifuture.org/) conference to look at how to responsibly communicate discoveries in medicine.
As technology changes the world, how do we keep the public on side? How do we communicate the potential of transformative technologies without making promises which can't be kept? And, as members of the public, how do we check the facts?
View our three scientists for a panel discussion on communicating the potential and pitfalls of future technologies:
Associate Professor Megan Munsie (Stem Cells Australia) exploring the role in managing our expectations of stem cell technologies. How much of what we know is fact?
Dr Melanie Thomson (biomedical researcher from Deakin Univeristy), and prolific tweeter on the frontiers in microbiology. Does Twitter help or hinder the communication of science?
Dr Martin Delatycki, Director of the Bruce Lefroy Centre of Genetic Health Research on what you get when you pay $99 for your genome? What is the future of personalised medicine and direct to consumer genetic testing?
The discussion was deftly navigated by Dr Shane Huntington from 3RRR's Einstein-A-Go-Go science radio show.
Date: Saturday 30th Nov 2013, 3:30pm
Venue: Kaleide Theatre, RMIT University.
This session is being hosted by the Australian Science Communicators as a part of the Science, Technology and the Future Conference, 30 Nov to 1 Dec @RMIT University.
