The advent of the internet has benefitted humanity in many ways. It has also caused some chaos, as people try to discern fact from fiction and sense from nonsense shared online. Many scientists have recently taken a more active role in helping society to understand how science works. One of those scientists is Dr. Joe Schwarcz. Dr. Schwarcz is a professor of chemistry at McGill University and the director of the Office for Science and Society. He has spent over four decades trying to combat misinformation, especially misinformation related to science. Dr. Schwarcz also hosts a radio show, “The Dr. Joe Show,” writes a newspaper column and has written 19 best-selling books. Dr. Schwarcz speaks with chemistry undergraduate student Jesus Diaz Sanchez and Associate Professor Brian Frost.
