At the Salon:
Why does public health matter? We have been thrust into a time when the importance of facts, the validity of the scientific process and accepted scientific concepts are routinely called into question. Because of our constant connection to social media and news, misinformation and personal anecdotes have an outsized influence on what we believe and how we make decisions. At this salon we will learn the importance of being a critical consumer of science and health information, which will hopefully help the world's population be healthier.
