Science Pub Portland: Misinformation & Health

Navigating America’s for-profit healthcare system is hard enough for many citizens. The grievances and misinformation that circulated during the early stages of Covid-19 have allowed anti-science groups and wellness influencers to further erode trust in public health. Derek Beres has spent the last five years tracking this movement, from the fringes of the internet to running the nation’s public health apparatus. In this lecture, he’ll talk about how we got here and where to go next.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
