On the 28^th of July 2021, the Southeast Asia Science Advice Network (SEA SAN) in collaboration with the INGSA-Asia Regional Chapter organised a webinar titled “Rebuilding Public Trust in Science” to examine the growing issue of declining public trust in science, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to highlight the value and importance of rebuilding that trust for the effective management of current and future crises.

Guevara, Undersecretary for Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Philippines and SEA SAN Council Member, as well as a panel discussion featuring SEA SAN Working Group Members and key experts from the region.
