SUMMARY:PCMACE Webinar: INFODEMIC
DESCRIPTION:PCMA Canada East Education Committee Presents: INFODEMIC! IS MISINFORMATION KILLING US? With TIMOTHY CAULFIELD \nDate: Tuesday\, October 27th\, 2020 \nTime: 11:30AM – 12:30PM EST \nDetails: Cow urine\, bleach\, and cocaine have all been recommended as COVID-19 cures — all nonsense. The pandemic has been cast as a leaked bioweapon\, a byproduct of 5G wireless technology\, and a political hoax — all poppycock. And countless wellness gurus and alternative-medicine practitioners have pushed unproven potions\, pills\, and practices as ways to “boost” the immune system. Misinformation is absolutely everywhere. The coronavirus isn’t just a pandemic\, it is an infodemic. It’s caused physical harm and financial loss; added confusion and distraction to an already chaotic environment; and made it even more difficult to implement the needed health policy initiatives.\nHow does this misinformation spread? Why do people believe it? What can we do as individuals and a community to fight back? Who can we trust? In this provocative presentation\, Professor Timothy Caulfield will explore these questions and more. \nSpeaker:  Timothy Caulfield \n\nCanadian and Edmonton local\nSpeakers’ Spotlight Speaker\nProfessor of Health Law and Science Policy at the University of Alberta\nAuthor of Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?\n\n \nProfessor Timothy Caulfield is an unrivalled communicator who debunks myths and assumptions about innovation in the health sector — from research on stem cells to diets to alternative medicine — for the benefit of the public and decision-makers. He is a Canada Research Chair in health law and policy\, a professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health\, and a research director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta. \nCaulfield is also frequently sought-after by the media to comment on health and science policy issues\, and is the author of two national bestselling books: The Cure for Everything: Untangling the Twisted Messages about Health\, Fitness and Happiness and Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?. He is also the host and co-producer of the award-winning\, hit documentary TV show\, A User’s Guide to Cheating Death\, which has been shown in over 60 countries\, including streaming on Netflix in North America. \n  \nSponsored By:
