Join us for a keynote conversation with Emily Oster, PhD—Professor of Economics at Brown University, best-selling author, and founder of ParentData—on how to communicate scientific evidence clearly, responsibly, and effectively. 

In this moderated Q&A (with Drs. Katy Milkman and Kevin Volpp), the discussion will focus on best practices for communicating behavioral and health science to broad audiences, navigating public debates around evidence, and balancing rigor with clarity when research informs real-world decisions. 

This session will be of interest to researchers, clinicians, policymakers, communicators, and students seeking practical insights into how evidence can be conveyed in ways that meaningfully inform health and well-being. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions about research, public engagement, and practice.
