Small Group Discussions
Participants reflect on and discuss what they have learned about the state of the science, public attitudes, and framing strategies and how to relate this to their own efforts and target audiences. They identify aspects that can be particularly helpful or challenging, etc. Each group develops a set of key “take aways” from the morning’s presentations.
