Fighting cancer and fake news: A battle against misinformation

April 22 @ 6:00 PM EDT - 7:30 PM EDT EDT

Join Cambridge in America (CAm) for an insightful discussion with Professor Alice Hutchings on the origins, spread, and impact of cancer-related misinformation. The event will open with an introduction by Professor Paula Buttery (Churchill 1997), Deputy Head of Computer Science & Technology at the University of Cambridge.

Medical misinformation is a wicked problem, deeply embedded in social, cultural, and technical systems. We’ll examine how it mimics trust signals, circulates through digital networks, and affects patients and caregivers in profound ways.
