Hostility in science communication?

How to deal specifically with hate speech and hostility towards science:

A workshop with the support and advice network Scicomm-Support

Hostility towards science and hate speech against scientists, science communicators and scientific institutions has increased noticeably, not least due to the coronavirus pandemic. But how can science communicators respond to such attacks, prepare for them and find support?

This workshop offers insights into the topic, presents the advice and support services of the national contact point Scicomm-Support, offers space for exchange and initial practical options for action.

Scicomm Support supports and advises scientists and science communicators in the event of attacks and unobjective conflicts in science communication. More information about Scicomm Support can be found online: www.scicomm-support.de.
