Misinformation, Disinformation, and Conspiracy Theories as a Threat to Public Health
Join us for a dynamic virtual event hosted by the ASIS&T
Student Chapter as we dive into the pressing challenge of
misinformation and disinformation in public health. Our guest
speaker, Evan Thornburg—a bioethicist and engaging digital
voice—has built a following on TikTok by offering clear,
context-rich explanations of the claims swirling around public
health, mental health, physical health, conspiracy threats, AI
biotechnology, and scientism. With a keen focus on debunking
myths and clarifying complex topics, this session will shed light
on how misleading information shapes public discourse in today’s
digital landscape.
