DESCRIPTION:Funders and institutions have put increasing emphasis on resear
 chers disseminating their findings to wider audiences via social media\, p
 opular science books\, public-facing talks and other platforms. However\, 
 public understanding of science is impeded by poor communication of study 
 findings\, leading to misinformation and confusion. With this confusion co
 mes pressure on policymakers to be guided by public sentiment rather than 
 rigorous research findings\, which may diverge in their conclusions. \n\nI
 n this Unconference\, we want to lead a discussion about how the psycholog
 ical research community can adapt its public engagement to a new era. Topi
 cs may include:\n- The risks posed by the increased use of preprints\;\n- 
 How to combat public misinterpretation of study findings\;\n- Ways to ensu
 re that expert researchers are centred\; \n- The promotion of pseudopsycho
 logical content by influencers on social media and\n- Direct threats again
 st those who seek to highlight pseudoscientific misinformation in the publ
 ic sphere.
