Professor, Department of Communication, Saint Louis University It’s
time to move beyond talking about the obvious ways to identify mis-
and disinformation by learning why we fall for fake news (and we all
do) and how to dissuade others of their fake-news beliefs. The fake
news spectrum is wide, and purveyors of misinformation play on our
inherent biases to “trick” us into believing half-truths and
falsehoods. Join us to learn how to recognize your own biases and find
out how to effectively confront others about their misinformed
beliefs. Science in St. Louis Series is a partnership of the The
Academy of Science – St. Louis and St. Louis County Library. +
