Global Health with Greg Martin's video: Science Communication

We live in a world with vaccine denial and immunization enthusiasts. Some people believe in climate change and others don't. At the end of the day, we need to trust science because its the best tool that we have to better understand the world and get at the truth. The problem is that people turn to different sources for the scientific information, have different levels of scientific literacy and have inbuilt biases like confirmation bias. This video explores how we can point people to credible sources like publicly funded research that have both expertise and objectivity for reliable information. Sure they aren't perfect but they are not affected by the Dunning Kruger effect or deliberate p-hacking. They employ the scientific method. Their papers are peer reviewed. At the end of the day, we need to understand our audience and look for people that are actually looking for answers. I hope you find this video helpful. A big shout out to the skeptics guide to the universe who are experts in science communication. This channel gets support from Nested Knowledge - an online platform used to support literature review.
