INFODEMIC: Global Conversations on Science and Misinformation
Episode 6: Science in the Face of Natural Disasters
We confront the aftermath of the massive Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the devastating Fukushima earthquake in Japan. We follow two scientific risk communicators who weathered and survived these natural disasters. These experts expose examples of bad science communication during crises and examine lessons in risk communication that apply to a global pandemic.
Featuring: Inez Ponce de Leon (Philippines) & Masataka Watanabe (Japan)
