Culturally Compassionate Science Communication Panel
We will be joined by two voluntary and community experts to discuss ways that students and future scientists can communicate accurately and compassionately about health and medical research that affects marginalised cultural groups. We want to encourage students to take into consideration how different marginalised identities may perceive scientific language, may have hesitations about scientific institutions and research, and how students can better understand how to address this in their practice
