These discussions become simultaneously focused on the scientific facts and major policy proposals. Any tips on how to navigate these conversations while maintaining your credibility/impartiality as a scientist?]]> 2021-06-29 14:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/APS_PE/bothk4ogli0as7ya/wish/1630195404 Historical perspectives https://padlet.com/APS_PE/bothk4ogli0as7ya/wish/1630198461 History does not always repeat itself but often rhymes.  Has there been an overlook of how and why perspectives have changed historically to controversial topics?  A classic example might be the transition from terracentric to heliocentric planetary view.

What are some good ways to mitigate this to encourage an atmosphere of learning and cooperation to get your point across?]]> 2021-06-29 14:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/APS_PE/bothk4ogli0as7ya/wish/1630211064 evidence? https://padlet.com/APS_PE/bothk4ogli0as7ya/wish/1630216288 Are there studies on best communication methods, or is everything anecdotal?
