What works and what does not work in science communication? In this episode Prof. Baruch Fischhoff joins the scicomX Podcast. Baruch is Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and widely considered as one of the god fathers of the science of science communication. We talked about what types of science communication exist, and what the science tells us what we should strive for if we want to make knowledge to be heard and understood. Spoiler: It is not about sending information only, but to understand the groups we want to communicate with and to create partnerships with them. In the episode we refer several times to two of Baruch's publications. Find them here: Fischhoff (2012): The sciences of science communication, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, vol. 110. Fischhoff (2015): The realities of risk-cost-benefit analysis, Science Magazin, Vol 350, Issue 6260. --- The Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly and share more science on social media. To do so, the podcast aims to create a knowledge hub for digital science communication by publishing engaging and inspiring episodes with experts in the field of social media and science communication.

Why is it that, as the number of people suffering increases, the less we seem to care? How psychic numbing is affecting the way we relate and act upon injustices domestically or internationally? Are we valuing human life in a consistent way? What's the role of media and social media platforms in this post-truth era regarding our empathy towards the pain of Others? An interview with Dr. Paul Slovic & Dr. Scott Slovic, co-editors of the Arithmetic of Compassion and co-editors of the book Numbers and Nerves, on how our brains work and how we measure and value our human relationships.

The vaccines are being rolled out - but approval is still on an emergency basis, and the evidence underpinning those decisions is only just becoming available for scrutiny. In this podcast we talk to Baruch Fischhoff, professor at Carnegie Mellon University and expert on public health communication about how that messaging should be done. Peter Doshi, associate editor at The BMJ, and vaccine regulation researcher also joins us to talk about the data now released on the vaccine trials - what questions does it raise, and what are the next steps for researching safety.

Turn on the evening news or open a newspaper these days and there’s virtually nothing but COVID-19 coverage. The story is moving as rapidly as the coronavirus itself. To discuss what we should be doing as we learn more about the virus, we have invited back Dr. Baruch Fischhoff, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and an expert on public perception of risk and human judgment. He talks about what we know now that we did not know when he first spoke to APA and recommends finding trusted sources of information, such as the National Academy of Science, to take care of ourselves during these alarming times.

Dr. Baruch Fischhoff, pandemic expert and clinical psychologist, discusses how human behavior changes in response to pandemics, and offers guidance about how individuals and communities can psychologically weather these unusual times. Interview with Elizabeth Irias, LMFT

Baruch Fischhoff, a decision scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, explains the ingredients necessary for effective science communication.

Fear about the coronavirus has gripped the world. While nearly all cases have been in China, that has not stopped people in other countries from worrying. This new illness certainly is frightening and needs attention, but it’s important to note that far more people die from an illness that’s all too familiar – the seasonal flu. Why are we so afraid of this novel coronavirus when we are much more likely to catch the flu? Our guest, Baruch Fischhoff, PhD, is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and an expert on public perception of risk and human judgment and decision-making. He explains why we worry about new risks more than familiar ones, how to calm our anxiety and what are the psychological effects of being quarantined. Listen to Part 2

Baruch Fischhoff and Dietram Scheufele discuss the need for a scientific approach to the communication of science.

Think about a time when something happened that just seemed meant to be. Maybe you had a feeling that your child would get into a certain college. Perhaps you just knew that your partner would forget to pack something important for your vacation. The question is, did you really know it along? In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we explore a tendency to be overconfident in our predictions about events that have already come to pass. We begin with the story of the fall of France. In the early days of World War II, the French surrendered a mere six weeks after the German invasion. How did one of the great European powers fall so quickly? Shortly after the end of hostilities in France, historians began to construct a narrative to explain this rapid defeat. That narrative focused on unflattering perceptions of French society and culture at the time. Historian Julian Jackson of Queen Mary University of London explains the origins of this line of thinking. Then we hear from military historian and Distinguished Professor Emeritus Douglas Porch of the Naval Postgraduate School about the Mechelen Incident—an event leading up to the German invasion that could have easily altered the trajectory of the war. Next, we conduct an audio experiment to demonstrate this tendency to revise our own predictions. Along with our participants, you’ll hear a distorted audio clip and then the undistorted version. As you listen to the experiment, try to remember what it was like to be naive about the content of the clip. It’s not easy! Kathleen Vohs of the Carlson School of Management at The University of Minnesota joins Katy to discuss the broader implications of this bias on how we make important decisions. Finally, Katy provides some simple strategies to help you avoid falling prey to this bias. Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab. For more on the series, visit schwab.com/podcast.
