During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Join us for a discussion about the impact of misinformation and uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals and populations with a panel of experts:
Professor Sir Peter Horby, Director of the Pandemic Sciences Institute, University of Oxford
Dr Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief, The Lancet
Professor Devi Sridhar, Chair in Global Public Health, University of Edinburgh
The aim will be to determine how to do better in the future. For example, how should the desire to act rapidly in a pandemic be balanced against the need for reliable evidence, how can scientific journals determine what research is fit to publish, and how can misinformation be identified in a world of artificial intelligence?
Doors open at 5pm. The event begins at 5:30pm.
