media140 Brisbane: Science communication April 26, 2011

A one day conference exploring how science communicators engage with complex and often sensitive public domain issues using social technologies.

media140 Frontiers Brisbane will be the first event of its kind to be hosted in the Brisbane Powerhouse to bring together an international gathering of speakers from the US, Europe and Australia.

This one-day conference will explore the benefits of social technologies on effective science and risk communication, looking at the challenges of engaging the public on issues such as climate change, health, nanotechnology, cloning and other sensitive public interest themes.

Through keynotes, case studies, forums and an unconference, we will create a participatory experience for science communicators to really understand what others are doing in this domain and help to inform discussion and debate about the future direction and trends.
