MythInformed Science

Misinformation isn’t just a problem for governments and health systems. For all kinds of organisations, misinformation erodes trust, derails communication strategies, and undermines hard-won credibility. It can also drive a wedge between families and friends. MythInformed Science is for leaders and communicators on the front lines of that fight. Each episode, hosts Jamie Brehaut and Justin Presseau sit down with leading experts to have conversations about misinformation: where it comes from, how it spreads, and what actually works to counter it. Jamie is a psychologist focusing on implementation science, the science of effecting real change in healthcare systems. Justin is basically the same thing, but a newer, better-looking model. Both are senior scientists at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and professors in the School of Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of Ottawa.This show talks to top people wrestling with the very real problems caused by misinformation. It provides practical intelligence to those responsible for protecting their organizations against an increasingly complex information environment. Every episode ends with clear ideas about how to combat misinformation more effectively.Produced in collaboration with PodCraft Productions and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
