The Infodemic Vaccine
In an age of knowledge resistance and “alternative facts,” it is crucial to understand how false claims spread and how critical thinking can help prevent future infodemics. By sharing accurate information and promoting a better understanding of scientific methods and scientific thinking, researchers can counter the spread of misinformation.
This lecture aims to place the issue of knowledge resistance in a broader context and spark reflection on the role of research and science communication in today’s evolving information landscape.
