We all have ideas about how social media and misinformation are affecting us and our world. But, as our guest Prof. Joshua Tucker explains, received wisdom is not the same thing as scientific findings. Join us for a tour de force through how to break down \"social media\" and \"misinformation\" into researchable parts that can be theoretically and quantitatively studied -- as well as some seriously surprising findings about both.
Fun fact: This episode was originally going to come later in the season, but the topic is so important we decided to release it sooner.

Josh references a lot of great research. Here are links to all the papers, reports, and books he mentions -- presented in the order of appearance!
