Great insights today from Mevan Babakar from Google, Jon Roozenbeek at KCL and Freya Robb from Science Media Centre at the ABSW Summer School session on misinformation.

A take-away for science journalists was the need to show the provenance of what they write.

A great story in IFLScience by Russell Moul about our research looking at whether comics can help jurors understand forensic science in crimical court cases: lnkd.in/efQjekD3

Analysis was conducted by @scicommsuwe.bsky.social student Izzy Baxter during her Msc Science Communication
