As a part of the Forging Connections: Championing Science, Learning, and Higher Ed Through Effective Communication Series, Dr. Stawnychy, Assistant Professor of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania, will discuss the effectiveness of experimental approaches to building trust, changing beliefs, and reducing the spread of misinformation.
