Hosted by the Institute of Connected Communications

The world is a scary and confusing place. It can be hard to keep up with the latest crisis or to understand why things are so violent and unfair. How did we get to this place and how can we get to somewhere better?

This conversation explores the role of non-academic publishing in making research ideas accessible and considers which emerging questions that should be concerning us all.
