Manage episode 439176765 series 3599212
Join us for part one of an enlightening conversation with Melanie Tracett-King, Associate Professor of Biology at Massasoit Community College. Melanie makes the mistake of being pretty, highly educated and in possession of her own website, ‘Thinking is Power’ which makes her a target for online trolls.
In this age of internet fuelled disinformation and wellness nonsense how do we differentiate between pseudoscience and well-supported scientific facts. Well Associate Professor Melanie is here to tell us.
Let’s mark ourselves safe from conspiratorial thinking and snake oil salesmen selling us pointless vitamins and supplements. Equip yourselves with the knowledge to stay safe and make informed decisions. Stay sharp, stay savvy, and keep your critical thinking hat shiny.
