Our research team examines how unreliable scientific information and disinformation spreads through mainstream media and online platforms, shaping public trust, decision-making, and policies on critical issues like health and the environment. By analyzing the amplification of misleading claims and their societal impact, we develop strategies to enhance public discernment, support evidence-based policymaking, and counter disinformation effectively.
