Our ability to confront global crises, from pandemics to climate change, depends on how we interact and share information.聽
Social media and other forms of communication technology restructure these interactions in ways that have consequences. Unfortunately, we have little insight into whether these changes will bring about a healthy, sustainable and equitable world. As a result, researchers now say that the study of collective behavior must rise to a 鈥渃risis discipline,鈥� just like medicine, conservation and climate science have done, according to a new paper published June 14 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
When people think of misinformation, they often focus on popular and social media. But in a paper published April 12 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, 蘑菇视频 faculty members Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom write that scientific communication 鈥� both scientific papers and news articles written about papers 鈥� also has the potential to spread misinformation.
