Science Communication: Information Delivery and the New Face of 21st Century

Thursday, August 23, 2012: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM
Meeting Room 15 (RiverCentre)
The recent decade has seen a proliferation of new media communication tools like blogs, wikis, open access journals and various social media platforms. Collectively, these new tools are reshaping science communication like never before. In this symposium, we'll explore the intersection between tradition and novel information delivery approaches, examin emerging science communciation tool and policies, and provide multiple perspectives on the future of science communication.
We will accept both oral and poster presentations for this symposium, with special emphasis and first priority given to oral presentations.
