Join ARC faculty John Aubert, Lynn Fowler, and Daniel Sundin (Biotechnology) as they share their respective expertise on issues related to science and pseudoscience. The group will examine several historical and contemporary examples, including but not limited to phrenology, eugenics, flat Earth theory, and the role of pseudoscience in spreading confusion about infectious diseases. This session is part of the Fall 2018 ARC Colloquium: Misinformation in the Public Sphere, which addresses the extent of misinformation of all kinds in the world around us, seeks to make us aware of its existence, and proposes conversations about how to deal with it inside and outside the classroom.
