S5.E5 - Misinformation & Disinformation


Listen Later

Misinformation spreads fast—but how do we separate fact from opinion in an increasingly noisy information landscape? In last episode of season five, we dig into misinformation and disinformation in healthcare. We chat with Assistant Professor and Pharmacist Jennifer Lake on the critical difference between misinformation and disinformation and Associate Professor Colin Furness on why expert voices must play a bigger role in public conversations—even as the definition of “expert” itself becomes contested.
