Fact-cination: Building Misinformation Immunity with Sander van der Linden

Join us for a conversation with Cambridge psychologist Sander van der Linden as we will discuss the psychology of misinformation in the digital age. How does fake news spreads like a virus through our society, why are we so susceptible to believing false information, and most importantly – how we can “vaccinate” ourselves against it. From Russian disinformation campaigns to COVID-19 conspiracy theories, we’ll explore real-world examples that have shaped our recent history. Whether you’re concerned about a loved one who’s fallen down the rabbit hole of misinformation or simply want to better understand what makes conspiracy theories so sticky, this talk will not misinform you.
