Ian MacRae talks to Dr. Julie Fratantoni about science communication, social media and her work talking about brain health on Tiktok.
Where do young people primarily get their information about mental health? What are the most common sources of information… and misinformation on social media?
Why use Tiktok as an education platform? Is there anything about the platform that makes communication easier?
And what are the risks and drawbacks?
What are the risks that psychologists, neuroscientists or other experts should know about being active on social media channels?
What can you learn about people on social media that an academic or research setting doesn’t teach you?
How will the role of science communicators change in the future?
