I'm presenting my results!

I've been chosen to present the results of this project to a few hundred scientists and science communicators at the Australian Science Communicators conference in Sydney in November.

This is a really exciting opportunity to show people how they can use the findings from my project in the real world.

If you're keen to find out more about this all the details are here (feel free to come along - the whole conference looks really good!):

About This Project

Why is fake news so popular? It is partly because people often accept any information that supports their beliefs - even if it is totally wrong.

This project seeks to measure the motivated numeracy effect outside the United States for the first time, so we fight the rise of fake news.

The motivated numeracy effect is a type of motivated reasoning where people refuse to acknowledge data if it doesn't support their pre-existing beliefs.

Blast off!
