In our next webinar, we'll delve into what one of our speakers has termed 'the natural ecology of bullshit' -- how to spot it, how it spreads, who is most impacted, and how to counter it. And we'll discuss reporting examples, strategies and story ideas that incorporate these insights and effectively communicate to diverse audiences. Our panel includes Professor Carl Bergstrom of the University of Washington, Dr. Melissa Clarke, an emergency medicine physician and leader in population health for Fortune 500 companies, academia and hospitals, and Rae Ellen Bichell, a Colorado Correspondent for Kaiser Health News.
