On Thursday, May 13, 2027, the New York Academy of Sciences hosts a hybrid, one-day symposium that moves from the history of public trust to sessions on complicity and repair. Registration is available for in-person and virtual attendance.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
The program’s most revealing choice is its progression: after a keynote about building health’s future with the public, it turns to the history of trust, then names an afternoon session “Complicity” before closing with “Repairing Trust.” That structure puts confidence in science and medicine in the frame not only as a communication challenge, but as a question about how trust is built, lost and restored.
Cassie Chartier, PhD, of The New York Academy of Sciences is scheduled to welcome attendees at 9 a.m. Reed Tuckson, MD, FACP, of the Coalition for Trust in Health and Science follows with the opening keynote, “The Trust Mandate: Co-Creating the Future of Health with the American People.” A 10 a.m. speaker has not been named.
The historical perspective arrives in Session II. Allan Brandt, PhD, of Harvard University is scheduled to present “The Rise and Fall of Trust in Science and Medicine: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives.” Its placement after Tuckson’s call to co-create health’s future gives the morning two different entry points: public partnership and the longer history of trust.

Kai Kupferschmidt of Science Magazine moderates the Session II panel. The agenda names Phil Krause, MD, former deputy director of FDA’s CBER, and Philip Alberti, PhD, of the AAMC Center for Health Justice as panelists; additional panelists are still to be announced. The confirmed roles bring science journalism, federal drug regulation and health justice into the same discussion, rather than limiting the subject to scientific institutions alone.
That range fits the organizers’ wider framing. The event description identifies misinformation, polarization, public-health crises and communication failures as pressures on public confidence, and says the symposium draws on fields including science, medicine, journalism, ethics, law and community engagement. Those are stated areas of concern for the gathering, not a list of promised individual talk topics.

Session III is titled “Complicity.” Paul Offit, MD, of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is listed at its 1:45 p.m. opening, but the agenda gives him no presentation title. The panel that follows is moderated by Sheila Coronel, MSc, of Columbia University, with Michele Goodwin, SJD, LLM, of Georgetown University and Harriet Washington, MA, of Columbia University named as panelists. Additional panelists are to be announced. The agenda provides the session label and roster, but no further description of the panel’s subject.

The final main session, “Repairing Trust,” is a panel featuring Holden Thorp, PhD, of Science Magazine; Lauren Taylor, MDiv, MPH, PhD, of New York University; Dhruv Khullar, MD, MPP, of Weill Cornell Medicine; and The Rev. Matt Stone of Christ’s Church Rye. A closing keynote is scheduled afterward, but its speaker is not listed. The 10 a.m. slot, extra panelists in Sessions II and III, and the closing keynote speaker are among the parts of the lineup still open in the published agenda.

The organizers describe the symposium as a hybrid day of presentations and moderated panels, with opportunities for attendees to ask questions, discuss challenges in research and practice, and build professional connections. Virtual registration is offered, but the listing does not explain how online attendees can join Q&A or networking. If those features matter to your choice of format, ask the event planner about remote participation before registering.

The day’s four main sessions move from a welcome and opening keynote through historical context, a session titled “Complicity,” and a panel on “Repairing Trust.” The open speaker slots and agenda’s end-of-day timing overlap are worth noting when planning which portions to attend.
The event listing gives hours of 8:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. ET. The agenda’s reception runs from 5:35 to 6:35 p.m., five minutes past that stated end time. It also places closing remarks at 5:30 p.m., overlapping the 4:45–5:35 p.m. closing-keynote block. Check with the organizer if you need to plan around the final minutes.
