Communicating Science Using AI Task Force

SOT is prioritizing the importance of science communication to the general public to combat misinformation and to increase awareness of toxicological advances and impact. SOT Council believes that the best way to amplify science communication is by empowering members to share their research by providing skills training and examples of opportunities for communication success. Of particular importance is how AI can be used to simplify and expedite science communication. This Task Force is developing a strategy to identify ways in which SOT can support members in communicating science. This strategy will outline a mission, goals, objectives, and tactics of a task force to address the science communication skills and knowledge gap.
