Quacks, Conspiracy Theorists & Actual Evidence
Social media may try to convince you otherwise, but climate change is not a hoax, vaccines don’t cause autism, and the paleo diet really isn’t good for babies. In a world where misinformation spreads more quickly than even the most contagious virus, emergency physician Michelle Johnston, climate scientist Petra Tschakert and journalist Jane McCredie discuss how to tell the difference between pseudoscience and quality information.
