CDSS and BIDS are co-sponsoring the upcoming Berkeley Conversation — COVID-19 Misinformation: Understanding and Seeking Truth during a Pandemic on Tues. Dec. 8 from 10:30-11:30 am. Misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic continues to create confusion and contention along scientific and political lines. In this conversation, Berkeley faculty will help us understand the nature of misinformation in order to assess, evaluate and engage more effectively with the information resources we consult.
