You are cordially invited to a special joint seminar of the Department of Communication and the
Department of Marine Biology, Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences. Our guest speaker will be:

Dr. Dominique Brossard, Professor and chair, Department of Life Sciences Communication, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Science, media and public policy

Recent debates surrounding controversial scientific topics have highlighted the fact that many questions raised by scientific breakthroughs do not have scientific answers, but instead ethical, political or societal ones. Dr. Brossard's talk will discuss what we know about how these issues are likely to play out in media and in the political sphere.

Monday, Dec. 21st 14:00-16:00, Rabin Building, room 7052
