Interview with Tim Caulfield about fear and misinformation

This episode featured an interview with world renowned science communicator and Canadian treasure - Timothy Caulfield, about fear and misinformation. How does fear and fear marketing encourage conspiratorial thinking? With all the noise out there, how can we find credible information sources? Does debunking really work in the context of internet bubbles? We often have very dissonant perspectives of relative risk in our daily lives. Where do we go wrong and how can we better critically assess risk? Hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did!
