His services to public health were recognised with a knighthood in 2022.
The public conversation will be hosted by BU鈥檚 Centre for Science, Health and Data Communication Research. Sir Jonathan聽Van-Tam will be sharing his experiences in combining science and leadership through this historic pandemic, as well as reflecting on the importance of good health and science communication.
Professor An Nguyen leads the Centre alongside his role as Professor of Journalism at BU. He said, 鈥淓ffective communication of complex science and health matters was the key to getting society on-board during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in the midst of so much uncertainty, competing perspectives, and the misinformation chaos of those days.
鈥淪ir Jonathan Van-Tam emerged as an unlikely star in that context, gathering a huge fanbase, not only with his scientific integrity but also his colourful, metaphoric science communication style that speaks directly to people. We are extremely delighted to be able to open this event to the research community, health professionals, science communicators, the media and the general public.鈥�
