The SETI Institute podcast Big Picture Science hosted University of Washington Department of Biology professor Carl Bergstrom, an affiliate faculty member at the Center for an Informed Public, to talk about detecting misinformation.
In the episode about skepticism, Bergstrom examines biases and offers advice on how to fact check information. Bergstrom encourages listeners to ask: “who is telling me this, how do they know it, and what are they trying to sell me?”
This is the web version of the December 2024 edition of the Center for an Informed Public‘s News & Insights newsletter that was originally sent out on December 19, 2024.
A team including CIP researchers was one of 14 to be awarded a Tier 1 pilot grant this fall from the UW Population Health Initiative.
Through the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public’s MisinfoDay @ MyCommunity program, a group of librarians at Des Moines University in Iowa recently adapted media literacy educational activities first developed at the CIP.
