The Conversation
The Conversation is an independent source of news and views from the academic and research community, delivered direct to the public. The organization’s motto is “academic rigor, journalistic flair.” Michael Berkman, Christopher Beem, and other McCourtney Institute faculty regularly contribute articles to the site, which are republished in media outlets around the world:
