Tell us if you are not confused when you scroll your newsfeed or change TV channels and see a whole array of opinions on each and every topic. One example you can probably relate to is the COVID crisis: vaccines or no vaccines, masks or no masks – which information is true? Who should we listen to in the end?
The name of this problem is “infodemic”. It means just what you think it means. In this episode, we are talking to Tiffany Duque, a senior advisor at Cochrane, about infodemic, expanding to the topic of misinformation in research and how to manage it.
Cochrane is an international charitable organization promoting evidence-informed health decision-making by producing top quality systematic reviews which have now become the gold standard for evidence-based information. We had a pleasure to organise a mini-series with Cochrane back in 2021. Go check it out if you are interested!
