How does this work contribute to Seeing Science Differently?
Science is embedded in a vast, interconnected, exponentially growing web of information and mis-information. The judging accuracy and reliability of information (JAR) research and teaching program empowers students to see science differently because they are equipped not only find the science in the chaff of non-science but can advocate for science, both in the present information environment and as new technologies arise.
