Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication in Southeast Asia

Addressing Inaccurate and Misleading Information about Biological Threats through Scientific Collaboration and Communication: Fifth Public Meeting

September 27, 2021

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM (ET)

Past

About

Topic: Open Science and Information Sharing in Times of Crisis and Stability

The intentional or unintentional spread of inaccurate and misleading information during infectious disease outbreaks has become commonplace. Such campaigns can undermine outbreak response activities in affected areas and discredit national, regional, and international leaders in biosecurity and health security from a variety of countries and international organizations. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts from the United States and Southeast Asia to serve on a study committee that will analyze how scientists can determine which claims may be addressed by defensible scientific information and how scientists can work together to address those claims. The study will result in a strategy for developing an international network of scientists to address inaccurate and misleading claims.

The meeting is intended to focus on determining how to engage scientists in a trusted network to build a defensible, accurate scientific knowledge-base that could be used to counter false claims, and developing a guide to help scientists identify and address such claims. This meeting, any input provided, and any discussions are designed to benefit Central and Southeast Asia. U.S. participants of the meeting should plan to provide needed input to support the overarching goal of the study to benefit the region.

The registration deadline has passed for this open session meeting on September 27, 2021 from 8:00 - 10:00 PM ET. Please contact both Dr. Kavita Berger (KBerger@nas.edu) and Dr. Jenell Walsh-Thomas (JWalsh-Thomas@nas.edu) if you have any questions about this meeting.

About

Topic: Building a Scientific Evidence Base for Combating Misleading Information on Biological Threats

The intentional or unintentional spread of inaccurate and misleading information during infectious disease outbreaks has become commonplace. Such campaigns can undermine outbreak response activities in affected areas and discredit national, regional, and international leaders in biosecurity and health security from a variety of countries and international organizations. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts from the United States and Southeast Asia to serve on a study committee that will analyze how scientists can determine which claims may be addressed by defensible scientific information and how scientists can work together to address those claims. The study will result in a strategy for developing an international network of scientists to address inaccurate and misleading claims.

Meeting Objectives:

Discuss how life and social sciences, including computational biology, have and can be used to develop the scientific knowledge base about infectious disease and other biological threats.
Discuss how the life and social science communities share and analyze data, evaluate communicated results and claims, and increase the quality and accuracy of communicated scientific information through scientific cooperation and collaboration, particularly focusing on Southeast Asia.
Learn about current and new initiatives and activities for addressing mis and disinformation, particularly focusing on efforts relevant to or in Southeast Asia.

The meeting is intended to focus on determining how to engage scientists in a trusted network to build a defensible, accurate scientific knowledge-base that could be used to counter false claims, and developing a guide to help scientists identify and address such claims. This meeting, any input provided, and any discussions are designed to benefit Central and Southeast Asia.

Topic: The Science and Practice of Networks

The intentional or unintentional spread of inaccurate and misleading information during infectious disease outbreaks has become commonplace. Such campaigns can undermine outbreak response activities in affected areas and discredit national, regional, and international leaders in biosecurity and health security from a variety of countries and international organizations. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts from the United States and Southeast Asia to serve on a study committee that will analyze how scientists can determine which claims may be addressed by defensible scientific information and how scientists can work together to address those claims. The study will result in a strategy for developing an international network of scientists to address inaccurate and misleading claims.

Meeting Objectives:

Learn about the scholarship of how scientific networks work and how different groups interact with each other, highlighting unique aspects of scientific networks in Southeast Asia.
Discuss how scientists in Central and Southeast Asia are and/or can develop a scientific network, including those to promote accurate information that could be used to counter false claims based on misleading and inaccurate information

The meeting is intended to focus on determining how to engage scientists in a trusted network to build a defensible, accurate scientific knowledge-base that could be used to counter false claims, and developing a guide to help scientists identify and address such claims. This meeting, any input provided, and any discussions are designed to benefit Central and Southeast Asia. U.S. participants of the meeting should plan to provide needed input to support the overarching goal of the study to benefit the region.

You must register to be allowed to join the committee in this open session meeting on August 11, 2021 from 8:00 - 10:00 PM ET. If you are interested in the meeting , please contact Dr. Kavita Berger (KBerger@nas.edu) or Dr. Jenell Walsh-Thomas (JWalsh-Thomas@nas.edu).
