Merely trusting science can lead to falling for pseudoscience, study warns
It’s trendy at the moment to say ‘trust the science,’ but a new study warns that doing so isn’t necessarily enough to avoid falling for pseudoscience claims. That’s according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, which found that merely reminding someone to trust science doesn’t reduce the number of false claims someone may fall for.
With the Internet, social media, and algorithms, it’s easier than ever to find pseudoscience claims, as well as loads of ‘evidence’ to support the topic. This can make it harder for some people to sift through what is legitimate and what merely presents itself with a veneer of legitimacy while spreading misinformation.
