SPECIAL EVENT: Dr. Fauci on Public Trust in Science

Dr. Anthony Fauci will be the featured guest in an online Hastings Center discussion next month. The nation’s top infectious disease official will be Hastings president Mildred Solomon’s guest. They will examine the ethical issues raised by the erosion of trust in science and explore how we can improve public understanding. What civic innovations can build trust and respectful dialogue?  What is the proper balance between safety and speed when developing new therapeutics and vaccines? And who should decide when scientists and members of the public disagree? This event is being announced first to Hastings e-newsletter subscribers, and early registrants will have the opportunity to ask questions in an interactive Q & A segment.

The event is part of The Hastings Center’s series, “Securing Health in a Troubled Time: Equity, Ethics and the Common Good.” It will take place on Thursday, November 19, 11 - 11:45 am Eastern time.

This event has been made possible by funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and by the Gil Omenn and Martha Darling Initiative for Trusted and Trustworthy Scientific Innovation. Learn more and register here.
