Science provides an important way to understand the world that can inform policy and personal decisions, improve human and ecological health and well-being, and advance knowledge and innovation. Misinformation about science, however, can lead to harmful outcomes, and concern about the spread of misinformation has grown significantly in recent years. To this end, the Board on Science Education is leading a study that will characterize the nature and scope of the problem of misinformation about science and its differential impacts; identify solutions to limit its spread; and provide guidance on interventions, policies, and research toward reducing harms caused from misinformation.
