2021 Scugog Lecture with Johanna Wagstaffe.

Science communication has never been more important. The climate crisis, our country's seismic hazards, and of course the current pandemic, demands accountability, engagement with the public, and a spotlight to be shone on the scientists working to solve these issues. This endeavour has never been more challenging or more hopeful. Johanna talks about her journey from academia to media, and what the newsrooms, and audiences, are saying when it comes to science journalism. She shares the triumphs, along with the obstacles of being a ‘newsroom scientist’ in an ever-changing landscape.

Watch the presentation as Johanna talks about the journey from academia to her role as an on-air meteorologist, seismologist, and scientist for CBC Vancouver.

This video includes an informative and engaging Q&A session as well!
