SUMMARY:Directions of Polarization\, Social Norms\, and Trust in Societies Workshop - Perspectives from Behavioral Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Returning to MIT in Fall 2025 after a successful 2023 edition\, Directions of Polarization\, Social Norms\, and Trust in Societies: Perspectives from the Behavioral Sciences is a two-day interdisciplinary workshop that brings together scholars and practitioners to explore the evolving dynamics of polarization. The workshop will be held on December 5th-6th in the Wong Auditorium at MIT.  \nThis year\, the workshop broadens its scope to include insights from academia and industry\, recognizing that polarization\, shifting norms\, and declining trust shape political discourse and affect workplaces\, technologies\, and communities. By drawing on a range of analytical perspectives — from behavioral science and social psychology to organizational research and public policy — the event aims to advance our understanding of how these forces emerge\, interact\, and can be addressed in an increasingly polarized world. \nThe workshop will feature both speakers (faculty/post-docs/industry) and poster presenters (graduate students).  \nKeynote speakers include Beth Goldberg (Jigsaw\, Google & Yale) and Adam Berinsky (MIT).  \nThis event is organized by Kati Kish Bar-On (MIT – STS)\, Adam Berinsky (MIT)\, Eugen Dimant (UPenn)\, Yphtach Lelkes (UPenn)\, and David G. Rand (MIT) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend\, please register by clicking this link here.

SUMMARY:Special Lecture with Usha Lee McFarling - Radical Collaborations and Entrepreneurial Energy: Building a Thriving Science Journalism Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:A Special Lecture Series Presented by the MIT Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society and the Knight Science Journalism Program\n\n  \nJoin us on Wednesday\, April 2nd\, from 5:15-6:45 pm in E51-145 for a special talk by Usha Lee McFarling \nRadical Collaborations and Entrepreneurial Energy: Building a Thriving Science Journalism Ecosystem \nFrom the moon landing to the sequencing of the human genome\, science journalists have chronicled technology’s most transformational moments and its thorniest debates. Today\, despite the critical need for such illumination and discussion\, the field of science journalism faces threats both economic and political. In this talk\, Usha will discuss the current landscape\, and explore ways the field and its dedicated community of practitioners can meet these challenges through powerful new collaborations\, an entrepreneurial spirit\, and by embracing some of the central tenets of the humanities such as creativity\, a focus on values\, and deeper explorations of ambiguity. These new pathways are needed to ensure accurate information about science and technology reaches the general public for informed decision-making\, an essential part of a functioning democracy\, but also to allow that public to explore science more fully and to experience its beauty\, joy\, and wonder.   \nAbout Usha Lee McFarling \nUsha Lee McFarling is a national science correspondent for STAT. She previously reported for the Los Angeles Times\, Boston Globe\, Knight Ridder Washington Bureau\, and the San Antonio Light. Her work on the diseased state of the world’s oceans earned the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory journalism and a 2006 Polk award. Her reporting has also earned the Victor Cohn prize for excellence in medical science reporting\, the Bernard Lo\, MD award in bioethics\, and numerous other awards. Usha graduated from Brown University with a degree in biology and later earned a master’s degree at UC Berkeley after spending years studying the behavior of desert woodrats. She was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow from 1992-3. \nTo Attend the Lecture \nPlease fill out this RSVP form if you plan to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Special Lecture with Hillary Rosner - Bearing Witness: Reporting on Nature in Tumultuous Times
DESCRIPTION:A Special Lecture Series Presented by the MIT Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society and the Knight Science Journalism Program\n\nJoin us on Monday\, March 31st\, from 5:15-6:45 pm in E51-145 for a special talk by Hillary Rosner \nBearing Witness: Reporting on Nature in Tumultuous Times \nScience journalism has never been more important. At the very moment when journalism is struggling to redefine itself and find new business models\, truth is being undermined—and now science is also under attack. It’s crucial that journalists document what is happening and that they explain to the public how the pieces all fit together. Drawing on her two decades of experience covering environmental issues\, as well as on recent reporting from around the U.S. and abroad for her forthcoming book on wildlife movement and the importance of reconnecting landscapes\, Hillary Rosner will explore the importance of journalism that highlights connections. Increasing public understanding of those connections—between\, say\, a demand for avocadoes in one country and a biodiversity crisis in another\, or between a drought in one region and the rise of fascism in another—may help restore trust in the vital enterprise of science in the U.S. Environmental journalism offers a model for how to cover complexity because it involves so many intersecting issues.  \nAbout Hillary Rosner \nHillary Rosner is an award-winning science journalist and the assistant director of the Center for Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder. She has written for National Geographic\, The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Wired\, Scientific American\, The Washington Post\, Undark\, Nautilus\, Men’s Journal\, Audubon\, and dozens of other publications. Her book Roam: Wild Animals\, Human Landscapes\, and the Race to Knit the Natural World Back Together will be published this fall by Patagonia Books.\n \nTo Attend the Lecture \nPlease fill out this RSVP form if you plan to attend in-person. The talk is free and open to all members of the MIT community. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Special Lecture Series: Who Tells the Story of Science? The Power and Peril of Science and Technology Journalism in 2025
DESCRIPTION:Who Tells the Story of Science? The Power and Peril of Science and Technology Journalism in 2025\nA Special Lecture Series Presented by the MIT Program in Science\, Technology\, and Society and the Knight Science Journalism Program\n\nScience and technology journalism faces a pivotal moment. Our most pressing challenges—climate crisis\, global pandemics\, the transformative potential of artificial intelligence—demand vigorous\, deeply-informed\, and thoughtful coverage by independent journalists. As questions about science\, technology\, health\, and the environment become ever more central to our political lives across many scales\, from local to national to global\, science and technology journalism is pivotal to safeguarding the democratic process. Science and technology journalists must balance multiple\, often competing\, imperatives: to translate and explain hard-won scientific knowledge\, while also holding scientific institutions to account; to report on the social effects of technological change\, while subjecting claims of technological hype (and doom) up to independent scrutiny. They must do so at a time when seismic shifts in the media landscape\, from the rise of social media to the hollowing out of newsrooms\, have created new threats (and perhaps opportunities) for the journalistic enterprise. This lecture series brings together four visionary leaders in the field to reflect on the state of science and technology journalism today—and to chart a path for its future. \n\nAll talks will take place from 5:15 to 6:45 pm ET and are open to members of the MIT community. \n\nWednesday\, March 19: Bina Venkataraman\, Editor-at-large for Strategy and Innovation\, The Washington Post \nLocation: E51-395 \n\nMonday\, March 31: Hillary Rosner\, Assistant Director\, Center for Environmental Journalism\, University of Colorado-Boulder \nLocation: E51-145 \n\nWednesday\, April 2: Usha Lee McFarling\, National Correspondent\, STAT \nLocation: E51-145 \n\nMonday\, April 7: Ashley Smart\, Associate Director\, Knight Science Journalism Program\, MIT \nLocation: E51-145
