Book
Quack quack : the threat of pseudoscience / Dr. Joe Schwarcz.
We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. In 'Quack Quack', Dr. Joe Schwarcz focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.
