Educational Purpose
This platform was created to demonstrate how convincing misinformation can appear when presented with scientific authority. By creating realistic but fictional content, we aim to help people develop critical thinking skills for evaluating health and science claims they encounter online.
What You'll Learn
- •How false authority and fake credentials are used to legitimize misinformation
- •Common statistical manipulation techniques that make false claims appear credible
- •How correlation is misleadingly presented as causation in health claims
- •The use of scientific-sounding language to mask unsubstantiated claims
- •How emotional manipulation is used alongside fake scientific evidence
Misinformation Techniques Demonstrated
False Authority
Creating fake expert profiles with impressive but fabricated credentials, university affiliations, and publication histories.
Cherry-Picked Statistics
Presenting selective data points and percentages that appear convincing but lack proper context or controls.
Correlation vs. Causation
Presenting correlational data as proof of causation, a common error that makes false claims appear scientifically valid.
Scientific Language
Using technical terminology and research methodology descriptions to make fabricated studies appear legitimate.
Emotional Manipulation
Combining fear-based messaging with fake scientific evidence to bypass critical thinking.
Industry Conspiracy
Suggesting that legitimate institutions are suppressing "truth" to add credibility to false claims.
How to Spot Real Misinformation
Red Flags to Watch For:
- • Claims that contradict established scientific consensus without peer review
- • Authors with impressive-sounding but unverifiable credentials
- • Studies with unrealistically large effect sizes or perfect correlations
- • Research that hasn't been replicated by independent scientists
- • Claims that "they" don't want you to know this information
- • Pressure to act immediately before "it's too late"
- • Absence of proper citations or links to peer-reviewed sources
Legitimate Fact-Checking Resources
When evaluating health and science claims online, consult these trusted sources:
