8:30 am PLENARY KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Lights, Camera, Science: Film and Social Media Influence on Real-world Scientific Progress and Innovation

David Hewlett, Actor/Writer/Director; Creator, The Tech Bandits

Now, more than ever, life sciences is subject to misinterpretation, reduction, and inaccuracies at the hand of social media and Hollywood. And while it might be tempting to ignore the fake science streaming on YouTube and TikTok, there's a generation of would-be investigators for whom those platforms might be their primary introduction to research and discovery. David Hewlett has had his share of big screen roles representing science-and science fiction-and he believes it's imperative that the scientific and technology communities take back the narrative, filling gaps between what's real and what could be real soon! He's meeting this future generation where they are in schools, on YouTube, and on Twitch, championing real science in all its iterative, messy, exploratory glory, to recruit bright, diverse minds to lead the next generation of real scientists. He's got our report from the front lines. 9:45 am Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing (Sponsorship Opportunity Available)
