🚨In PNAS🚨 The right often accuses fact-checkers of political bias But we analyzed Community Notes on Musk's X and found posts flagged as "misleading" are 2.3x more likely to be written by Reps than Dems! The issue is Reps sharing misinformation, not fact-checker bias... www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I know of 13 studies that have looked at #fertility following mRNA #CovidVaccination, all finding no effect. Yet misinformation that COVID vaccination harms fertility is *still* circulating! I spoke to @sciencefeedback.bsky.social #MedSky #ReproSky #VaccineSky #IDSky

Glad to help fact check @sciencefeedback.bsky.social. Recent GRACE-observed Antarctic ice mass gain is making the rounds online as if sea level rise has stopped. More snowfall stemming some Antarctic loss is like new paint on a used car hemorrhaging oil. science.feedback.org/review/antar...

A common tactic behind #vaccine #misinformation is to misrepresent published studies, sometimes by making unfounded extrapolations, thereby creating the illusion that claims of vaccine harms are scientifically substantiated.

Science Feedback provides valuable context behind the headline. science.feedback.org/review/84-of... We need more contextualizing of clickbait stories. Often, as in this case, there is an important, albeit nuanced, story not easily summarized in a catchy headline. @sciencefeedback.bsky.social

Alors que la recherche est attaquée et que l'extrême droite fait de l'instrumentalisation de l'écologie et des fake news une stratégie de campagne, la désinformation climatique se normalise. En 3 mois, 128 cas ont été détectés sur les 18 principales chaines de TV et radio. youtu.be/k6Z1yqrITCc
