📈💬💡 State what the evidence establishes, what remains uncertain, & what additional findings would justify a stronger conclusion. This shows that reconsideration can occur without abandoning standards for proof. #DataCommunication #CriticalThinking #RiskCommunication

📈💬💡 Explain what the data supports without implying that every established practice or belief is irrational. Audiences can consider a specific change more easily when they are not being asked to reject their entire tradition. #DataCommunication #ScienceCommunication #BeliefChange

📈💬💡 Consider whether accepting your data would make the audience feel disloyal, incompetent, immoral, or unlike the person or group it believes itself to be. Identity-linked beliefs usually produce stronger resistance. #DataCommunication #BehavioralScience #BeliefChange

📈💬💡 Do not treat every belief as equally resistant to change. Before sharing related data, ask how certain the audience is, how long it has held the belief, & what personal or social consequences would follow from changing it. #DataCommunication #ScienceCommunication #BeliefChange
