The Science & Trust live discussion

We are excited to inform you that Crastina has scheduled a live interactive panel discussion session on Science & Trust to take place Friday, December 11th at 4pm CET that will broadcast on Crastina’s Facebook page. The panel will be constituted by the members of the jury for the Crastina Science & Trust Microessay Competition. The winners and runners-up of the Crastina Microessay Competition are also eligible to participate as members of the panel. Winners will be informed as soon as possible. We have been very impressed by the high quality of all entries, and therefore we believe that your insight on this topic would greatly enhance the value of the discussion.

All other participants, Crastina’s followers and anyone else interested in Science & Trust are also invited to join on the day. Participants will be given the opportunity to engage with discussion in a Q&A format, and we strongly encourage all authors from the entries to do so. If you wish to join the discussion on Zoom, do sign up here and we will send you the link. Please also invite your friends and colleagues to join!
