Turning science into solutions

Scientists, academics, digital creators and influencers all face a critical challenge: How can science and fact-based information break through in an environment of rampant misinformation, disinformation, media silos and polarization? 
 
That’s the key question we seek to answer during a special Reddit “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) interview and livestream event we’re calling, “Tipping Point – Turning Science Into Solutions.”
 
HAPPENING NOW: Science correspondent Miles O’Brien and digital anchor and correspondent Deema Zein are co-hosting a mega AMA featuring 14 panelists — scientists, academics, digital creators, influencers, among others — who discuss the challenges they face while communicating facts about science, climate, health and technology. They’ll share what they’ve found that works and take your questions along the way.
 
Join the conversation during our hourslong special live event. Watch live in the YouTube player above or take part in the discussion on Reddit here.
 
Your viewer questions will power this special. Submit your questions on Reddit as part of the AMA, hosted on r/IAmA.
 
This newsletter was compiled by Dan Cooney and Joshua Barajas.
