Trust Issues: Science, Skepticism & Showing Up

Trust in science isn’t built in a lab–it’s built through conversation, relationships, and community. At a time when public trust in science, media, and institutions feels like it’s hanging by a thread, Canadian science communicators face a growing challenge: how do we foster trust when it feels hardest to earn? Join CBC’s Anthony Morgan in conversation with filmmaker Calvin Hudson Hwang, community health advocate Sabina Vohra-Miller, and tech and society researcher Lai-Tze Fan for a lively, real-talk panel on the power–and challenges–of fostering trust in our communities. Geared toward scientists, researchers, and science communicators in the GTHA, this conversation offers a uniquely Canadian lens on rebuilding trust from the ground up–especially when it feels like the ground is shifting beneath us. 

Delivered in partnership with RCIScience.
