The spread of misinformation has reached epidemic proportions. Thankfully, science has found a solution, inoculation theory, which applies the logic of vaccines to misinformation.
Join us on Thursday, June 8 at 7:00 p.m. ET for a free online presentation by Melanie Trecek-King. “Inoculating Students Against Misinformation” focuses on active, technique-based inoculation, in which students learn the techniques used to mislead by creating misinformation. This hybrid live/online event is hosted by CFI Western New York.
