The School of Life: Dr Karl on Misinformation
Prepare to question everything.
Overview
Cut through the crap with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, in an hour long presentation designed to help you tell fact from fiction. The latest in a series of 'secular sermons' organised by The School of Life, Dr Karl on Misinformation will see the beloved science broadcaster hold court on the lies and misconceptions that have become part of everyday life.
Doors open at Fitzroy Town Hall at 10.45am. The event will begin with a musical performance at 11am, before Dr Karl takes the stage at 11:30am. Covering everything from antioxidant supplements to the correlation between mobile phone use and cancer, the good doctor will explore how misinformation affects the way we think and behave, while also demonstrating practical ways to fight back when bullshit rears its ugly head. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the world. Honestly, it's probably for the best.
