Facts Aren't Enough

This workshop focuses on navigating controversial topics without shutting conversations down, using several techniques from the Know Us Project. Originally crafted for the LGBT+ community, Know Us Project conversations are intended to influence public opinion one conversation at a time. This workshop invites scientists to use empathy and validation to relate with non-scientists in understanding scientific misconceptions, and challenges the scientists to validate the emotions underlying the misconception in order to connect with different viewpoints.
