How should science journalists write about "controversial" science topics like climate change and vaccines? Journalist Liza Gross will discuss her experience writing about vaccines, encounters with anti-vaccination fanatics, and thoughts about how to bridge the gap between evidence and doubt.

Lisa Gross is senior editor at the open-acess biomedical journal PLoS Biology.  She is also a contributor to Environmental Health News, and she has written for diverse outlets such as S.F. Chronicle, Scientific American, and National Geographic's News Watch.
