FYLPRO’s Tayo Featured in National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine Consensus Study Report on Addressing Misinformation

Filipino Young Leaders Program’s Tayo project was featured in the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine report on addressing Misinformation.

The consensus study report, “Understanding and Addressing Misinformation About Science,’“ was released earlier this month and covers why “proactive solutions are needed to address misinformation about science, an issue of public concern given its potential to cause harm at individual, community, and societal levels.”

The report is part of a larger 2023 public workshop held at the National Academies that convened academics, researchers and community groups to address misinformation.

Tayo co-founders Leezel Tanglao (FYLPRO Immediate Past President and Tayo Project Director) and Mark Calaguas (FYLPRO Executive Vice President and Tayo Legal Counsel) presented Tayo’s work at a panel presentation in April 2023.
