@sarahemilywild .@DalmeetS doesn't read press releases. He advices to set up alarms on topics of interest or social media, look for review and meta-analysis papers, negative findings, or debunking information. #abswss25.

Ask researchers that work in your topic to advice you other people to talk to, what are the major journals in their field, what’s the most important conferences (if you can't go, check the programme and conference documents). @sarahemilywild .#abswss25 2/2.

Great tips from @sarahemilywild👇.It's all about building relationships, 1st with the comms officers at universities, then with experts. Grab ☕️ with the comms person, even a virtual one; talk to researchers once in a while to see when are they publishing something. #abswss25 1/2.

@SMC_London @KingsCollegeLon #abswss25 #disinformation #misinformation.@MeAndVan @Google .Confirmation bias and drowning people with information are disinformation strategies. People still trust experts connected to science and health, but not journalists. People are avoiding news.
