 **Description:**

 Are new digital and social media revolutionizing how we know the world? Is a networked science a more open, and public, science, and is this a good or a bad thing? How do scientists and the public decide what is a legitimate scientific fact? These questions, hotly debated these days, go back a surprisingly long way. In this seminar, we will interrogate current upheavals in scientific communication (especially, but not exclusively, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic) by taking a critical eye toward the long history of making science into public knowledge, from the rise of scientific news to the growing role of social media in scientific life.
