Greetings once again, my fellow nerdlings!! And WELCOME BACK from summer break!!! We’re so excited for this coming year of science talks and are starting out strong with a very pertinent topic.

Please join us to hear Matthew Facciani share research on the social factors contributing to misinformation and political polarization, focusing on the role of identity and networks in shaping beliefs.

We will also cover practical tips on how to have more productive dialogue, identify our own social biases, and improve our information and media literacy.
