Why we disagree about facts? by Sander van der Linden |

A talk that is more relevant now than ever, Dr van der Linden discusses the ways in which falsehoods spread across various forms of media and shape the opinion of the broader public. Through a single example, he demonstrates the ways in which fake news can cause irreversible damage to one’s view of facts. Dr. Sander van der Linden is a University Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Social Psychology at the University of Cambridge, where he directs the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab. He is also a Fellow in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. Prior to Cam- bridge, van der Linden held academic positions at Princeton and Yale University. He has won numerous awards for his research on social in uence, judgment, communication, and decision-making, including awards from the American Psycho- logical Association (APA), the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) and the International Associ- ation of Applied Psychology (IAAP). His research has been widely publicized in the media, including outlets such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and the BBC. He received the Frank Prize in Public Interest Communications in 2017 from the University of Florida. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
