In a time when misinformation, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories saturate our media and erode trust in science and reality, the role of the public skeptic has never been more critical. (Thread!!)
Science denial, alternative facts, and magical thinking test the very integrity of society and threaten the health and freedoms of everyone. Those at the vanguard for the advance of science, reason, and critical thinking are indispensable.
It is those individuals who we honor as Fellows of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for their contributions to the promotion of scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims. centerforinquiry.org/news/10-new-fe… Image

Let’s all gather ‘round for a story about fake medicine, why people might use it, and why it’s so dangerous, especially during a global pandemic. Don’t worry! This story has pictures! Image
Say hello to Ben. Hi, Ben! Ben is a very famous and important man. He used to be famous for being a neurosurgeon! Wow! That’s super-impressive. Now he’s the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Go Ben! Image
He’s also on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, which means he’s part of the President’s team that’s responsible for protecting Americans from COVID-19, which is a really bad disease! The Vice President is in charge, but Ben is really important there. He’s a doctor! Image
