The pandemic has shown: We have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to health communication. We talk to Prof. Dr. Cornelia Betsch, Heisenberg Professor for Health Communication at the University of Erfurt, about why this is so and how we can change it. We also get to the bottom of the questions of what social significance health communication has, what role psychology plays and what we have learned in this regard from the pandemic. It's worth listening in!
