The entertainment we watch has a direct influence on our health. However, there is no method to guide health experts and the entertainment industry to make content to improve health, so entertainment is commonly inaccurate and audiences don’t know what is trustworthy or not. Michaela Pascoe is creating a roadmap to guide health and science experts and the entertainment industry to create accurate entertainment to promote health. Michaela Pascoe is a research fellow in the Institute for Health and Sport with expertise in mental health and a passion for science communication.
Michaela is an active science communicator and has worked with the BBC, ABC, Channel 7 and the Conversation, to name a few. Michaela has successfully produced a film based health promotion program to promote mental health among students during COVID-19. Michaela is also an actor and commonly consults on film scripts to create content that is accurate and scientifically informed.
Michaela will be talking about the power of narrative to communicate science and promote public health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
