In a world of information overload and deepening divides, how do we build trust in science? Join us for a powerful evening exploring the human side of research—from data integrity to community dialogue. Our speakers reflect on the ethical backbone of science, the role of public trust in research, and the importance of having tough conversations about health, justice, and representation. Whether through digital transparency, youth engagement on the Thai-Myanmar border, or life-saving conversations around HIV, this session asks: how can science better serve society?
