Posted on 29 April 2021 by John Cook, BaerbelW
We were recently put in touch with Repustar’s founder and CEO Chandran Sankaran, interested in collaborating with Skeptical Science to create climate-related Fact Briefs for their platform. As a new startup, Repustar describe their approach on their About Us page:
Repustar enables everyone to support their conversations online with facts from credible sources. Organizations that contribute to the platform look into the public’s concerns and respond with clear answers supported by credible data and documents.
Repustar combines the tools of journalism and data science to allow well-sourced Fact Briefs to be discovered by the public when and where they are most needed.
