- **Event Description**: A candid look at how medical misinformation spreads and how we can rebuild trust in evidence-based care.About this EventMedical misinformation is hazardous to our health. According to the Canadian Medical Association, one third of Canadians avoided effective treatments last year because they received faulty intel. This problem comes in many forms — from fabricated data and flawed correlations that fuel vaccine hesitancy to the alternative therapies promoted by wellness influencers and the exaggerated promises that compel desperate patients to view costly experimental options as miracle cures.Join us for a candid conversation about restoring trust in evidence-based medicine. We’ll hear from leading communicators in science, social media and journalism on why mis- and disinformation are so persuasive, how pseudoscience harms patients, and everyone’s role in preventing the spread of false messaging. At this special edition of MaRS Mornings, CCRM will receive the Royal Canadian Institute for Science’s Logan Award for excellence in science communication. CCRM is a leader in developing and commercializing regenerative medicine-based technologies and cell and gene therapies.Location: MaRS Centre - LIVE Lounge, 661 University Ave, Toronto, ONAgenda:8:30 - 9:10 a.m. — Registration, coffee and networking9:10 - 9:15 a.m. — Opening remarks9:15 - 9:50 a.m. — Panel and audience Q&amp;A9:50 - 10:00 a.m. — Award recognition10:00 - 11:00 a.m. — NetworkingSpeakers:Krista Lamb, Science Communicator and Author Krista Lamb is a science communicator who specializes in translating complex topics into interesting and understandable stories for diverse audiences.
