SUMMARY:Science Communication in Times of COVID-19 under the Spotlight
DESCRIPTION:Science communication is essential to support critical decision
 s and policies with evidence-based data and to inform citizens especially d
 uring the COVID-19 pandemic. However, how can science communication be effe
 ctive in these times and beyond? This International Virtual Panel, organize
 d by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) and the German National
  Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, provides a platform for renowned speakers 
 from both countries to approach this guiding question from different angles
  and consider lessons learned during the pandemic. The experts will discuss
  how science communication deals with mistrust, fake news, and conspiracy t
 heories. They will also analyze how scientists translate complex topics int
 o an understandable language, and which media platforms and tools they use 
 to inform policy makers and citizens. Moreover, the panel will reflect on t
 he role of scientific advisers in the public, as well as on chances, limits
 , and trends of science communication. The audience is very welcome to inte
 ract with the experts and to ask questions using the Q&A.\n\nASSAf and Leop
