Where do you get your news? How do "fake news" and social media affect your perspectives? New U-M research and scholarship can help us understand the widespread impact of disinformation and bias in our current ecosystem of social media and content sources. Please join Ariel Hasell from the Communication and Media department, and Barbara McQuade of the U-M Law School, for a discussion about truth, trust, government, and how we can be effective and critical technology users and consumers. Professor McQuade has recently published the book: Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America, and books will be available for sale.
Science Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current research topics with experts in an informal setting.

Please note special schedule:
Hors d’oeuvres at 6:00P.M.
The program begins at 6:30P.M.
Seating is limited—come early.

UMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15+ years of support for our Science Cafés. Their continued commitment brings U-M faculty into the Ann Arbor community to discuss current research topics.
