A quotation from Hyman Rickover

> Always use the chain of command to issue orders, but if you use the chain of command for information, you’re dead.

**Hyman Rickover** (1900-1986) Polish-American naval engineer, admiral [b. Chaim Gdala Rykower]
(Attributed)

Truth, or misinformation? A statistician explains the challenge of assessing evidence The word misinformation is loaded, and overused. The difficulty of assessing evidence is partly to blame.

The term "misinformation" online should be reserved for materials that are very likely to be lies on the evidence, rather than just more likely than not, or the term loses its significance for practical purposes, argues Mu Zhu

“Women’s health research is vulnerable to being co-opted and corrupted. The claim that the pill is a forever chemical is unsupported, and spreading that false narrative not only distorts science, but given the political climate, can be used to further misogynistic political goals.”

In The Age Of Misinformation, Climate Literacy Matters More Than Ever Climate education remains inconsistent, optional and disconnected from the realities students face every day. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than understanding, building climate and information literacy is how we begin to protect Hawai‘i’s future. Hawaiʻi’s students are already living the reality of climate change. From stronger storms to increased wildfire and drought risk, our youth can no longer afford purely symbolic gestures of change. Yet in many classrooms, climate education remains inconsistent, optional, and disconnected from the realities they face every day. This legislative session, a bill has once again been introduced that would require climate literacy education in Hawaiʻi Department of Education schools. House Bill 1925 has now crossed over to the Senate, signaling growing recognition that preparing young people for the future means ensuring we have the knowledge and tools to understand the environmental and civic systems shaping our lives. However, in the current political climate and among digital environments where social media often becomes a primary source of news for young people, climate literacy is also about understanding how misinformation spreads. When disasters occur or policies are debated online, misleading or incomplete information can spread quickly, shaping how communities understand risk, response, and responsibility. Building...

Australia has to fight back against misinformation about climate change, Senate report says How can Australia tackle the scourge of online bots and trolls, and orchestrated disinformation campaigns, that are trying to prevent action on climate change and keep our economy reliant on fossil fuels? The Senate's select committee on information integrity on climate change and energy released its final report last week. It sounded an alarm about the health of Australia's digital town square and the erosion of trust in society, and said we have to clean up our online debates. "A robust information ecosystem is critical to the health of Australia's democracy and to its ability to meet the challenges arising from climate change — including the need to transition to renewable energy sources," the report argued. "However, the committee heard that the integrity of Australia's information ecosystem is threatened by a proliferation of misinformation and disinformation, which is polarising public discourse and eroding trust in science and knowledge institutions. "Worryingly, the committee heard that Australia has some of the highest levels of concern about information integrity globally." The majority report, backed by Labor, Liberal, and Greens senators, made 21 recommendations for the federal government. The recommendations have tried to strike a balance between the principles of free speech and expression,...

New tool identifies harmful nutrition misinformation and evaluates potential risk A new tool that not only identifies diet and nutrition misinformation online but also evaluates the content's risk for potential harm has been developed by a team of UCL researchers. Unlike existing tools, which offer binary judgements of whether content is 'true' or 'false', this first-of-its-kind tool addresses misinformation that is not overtly false but still has the potential to dangerously mislead, particularly among vulnerable groups. The tool's developers identified that 'true' or 'false' assessments fail to capture the cumulative and contextual ways in which misleading health information can influence behaviour and decision-making. Health misinformation spread online presents a major public health threat, according to the WHO. From restrictive diets and extreme fasting to the unsafe use of dietary supplements (estimated to account for 20% of drug-induced liver injuries in the US alone), misinformation can have disastrous, sometimes fatal, consequences. When it comes to diet and nutrition, misinformation often operates through selective framing that masks potential health risks. Harmful misleading content tends to fly under fact-checkers' radars and escape meaningful oversight until high-profile cases make the headlines." Alex Ruani, lead author and developer, UCL Institute of Education The tool, called Diet-Nutrition Misinformation Risk Assessment Tool or Diet-MisRAT, is a rule-based...
