Are you consuming a credit card’s worth of misinformation every week?

In today’s digital world, misinformation spreads faster than ever — and many of us consume it daily without even realising it. From viral headlines to misleading scientific claims online, it can be difficult to tell what’s credible and what’s not.

In this episode of Crash Course Scientific Thinking, viewers are introduced to practical ways of evaluating sources, verify facts, and think more critically about the information we consume. The episode breaks down practical ways to assess science coverage and avoid falling for misinformation. 

Perhaps the ability to think critically may be more valuable than information itself.

The next thing you believe matters. Watch now and sharpen the way you think.
