This will be the fourth meeting of the committee on Understanding and Addressing Misinformation about Science. The committee will meet virtually over two days in both open and closed sessions.

Please join us for discussions on understanding misinformation in the context of the history and nature of science and implications for addressing misinformation given advancements in information technology (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.). This session will include a time of Q&A with the committee and audience.

To sum up- legitimate news outlets wanted time to delve into the facts of the case, but the reporters wanted it published quickly. Now they have a very questionable story. This is why journalists need to be working with scientists when it comes to reporting sensational science stories.

Weather is big news in Alaska. In a place where many people’s lives and livelihoods are directly tied to the environment, knowing what’s in the forecast is often a question of survival. Very soon though, the state’s most reliable source of meteorology media is set to disappear.

In lieu of the news, residents seeking information on their state’s weather will be forced to lean on spotty, sub-par internet. Friday evening will be the final television installment of “Alaska Weather,” as first reported by Alaska Public Media.
