It’s Friday afternoon….Wanna play a game?
There is a paper out today by an expert called Prof. Sander van der Linden. But expert papers are a bit dull on a Friday, so instead I’m sharing a game Prof. van der Linden created to teach everyone about fake news and bias.
You can play for free on your browser – and see if you can beat my score – at: https://getbadnews.com The game takes less than 15 minutes – and it’s easier and more entertaining than Wordle.
Prof. van der Linden is an expert in misinformation. He wrote alot about the potential devastating effects of online misinformation….back in 2019. He has always compared misinformation to a virus and refers to educating the public as a way of building up an immunity — an irony that shouldn’t be lost on any of us after the last 2 years.
Really interested in his latest paper in Nature? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01713-6
