DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Piriyaporn Sabhasri ()\nIn the social media age\, sc
 ary headlines and false astronomy news spread quickly\, creating confusion
  and public panic. Science communicators need more than just hard facts. W
 e need fast and practical ways to handle these digital rumors.\n      This
  presentation shares real life lessons from the National Astronomical Rese
 arch Institute of Thailand (NARIT) on acting as a trusted source for astro
 nomy news. By drawing on well known examples\, such as solar storm panics 
 and exaggerated asteroid warnings\, we will break down NARIT’s 4 step gu
 ide to tackling fake news:\n      1.Early Detection: Catching rumors on so
 cial media before they go viral.\n      2.Clear and Kind Messaging: Explai
 ning the science simply without sounding patronizing or repeating false cl
 aims.\n      3.Smart Media Use: Leveraging eye catching infographics\, sho
 rt videos\, and news networks to spread the truth fast.\n      4.Turning F
 ear into Learning: Transforming public worry into engaging\, real time sci
 ence lessons.\n\n       Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the s
 tep by step process for managing misinformation through NARIT’s proven c
 ase studies. This approach demonstrates how to effectively manage public p
 anic and turn it into great science learning opportunities.\n\nhttps://ind
