A Life Preserver for Staying Afloat in a Sea of Misinformation - Livestream

In a world full of misinformation, being able to critically evaluate claims is empowering. Good thinking is the best way to protect ourselves from being fooled (or even harmed) by misinformation. The problem is: where do we start? The necessary skills, critical thinking and science literacy, are difficult to master… and to apply. To address this issue, science educator Melanie Trecek-King developed a handy toolkit that provides a structured, systematic way to think through claims. In this talk, Trecek-King will explain how to use the toolkit so you can save yourself from drowning in a sea of misinformation.

Speaker: Melanie Trecek-King is an Associate Professor of Biology at Massasoit Community College
