To respond to #COVID-19 misinformation & provide support to communities from scientists @COVID_19_Canada is now conducting kitchen table-style virtual discussions in communities & posting open access "explainers" translated into multiple languages covid19resources.ca/explained.html

Communities who would like to hold kitchen table-style #COVID-19 discussions (in any of all major languages spoken in Canada), you can request scientists here: covid19resources.ca/requestvolunte…

We try to place volunteers already connected to communities to build longterm relationships.

Media, newspapers, journalists etc in under-served regions, you can publish our #COVID-19 Science Explained pieces free of charge if you credit us (pls let us know).

Scientists who want to contribute pieces pls go here: covid19resources.ca/explained.html

We recruit volunteer science translators & communicators from the @COVID_19_Canada volunteer database.

You can sign up to volunteer w/ translation or #COVID-19 science communication here covid19resources.ca/Volunteer.html

We also provide volunteers across #Canada for any community, organization, initiative needing help w/ their #COVID-19 response. This help can be science-related, but we also just get people out who can do things like deliver meals, get groceries etc.

Organizer in chief for @COVID_19_Canada #COVID-19 kitchen table virtual discussion initiative is @KrishanaSankar.

Organizer in chief for @COVID_19_Canada COVID-19 Science Explained initiative is @DeNovo_Fatima .
