But misinformation and disinformation complicated our public health response and exacerbated ideological divisions already present in society. In addition, basic innumeracy and a poor understanding of the nature of exponential growth impaired the ability of audiences to appreciate the gravity of disease forecasts. A rehabilitated approach to pandemic communication is needed, one that not only meets the traditional public health goals of disease control, but that is also hardened against the now likely presentation of targeted and well-resourced disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"973\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan.jpg 944w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan-160x165.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan-240x247.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan-768x792.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan-400x412.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/raywat-deonandan-360x371.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raywat Deonandan, PhD<br>\nAssociate Professor<br>\nResearch Chair in University Teaching<br>\nInterdisciplinary School of Health Sciences<br>\nUniversity of Ottawa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button \" href=\"https:\/\/carleton-ca.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJYrcumgrjkvH9X0mRzPppLRkGvGvY7ARhyU#\/registration\">Zoom Registration<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[49,48],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-4916","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-event","cu_event_type-seminar"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-01-18T12:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-01-18T13:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/4916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/4916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4922,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/4916\/revisions\/4922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=4916"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/healthsciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=4916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
