Since Covid-19 arrived in Scotland, some voices have ‘cut through’ to reach the public, bringing public health messaging into new media spaces in different ways. These voices have helped inform and shape public debate, translating ‘the science’ into meaningful engagement and influencing behaviours.
This event, initially broadcast live on December 17 2020, gathered experts from the arts, humanities and the sciences to reflect on their roles in helping the public understand and tackle coronavirus. RSE President Professor Dame Anne Glover hosted our guests for an afternoon conversation:
- Janey Godley – Actor, Writer and Comedian
- Professor Jason Leitch CBE – National Clinical Director
- Professor Mona Siddiqui OBE FRSE – Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies
