Topics
Gary O'Reilly: 我认为更好的信息能带来更好的决策，但令人担忧的是，有人会故意制造虚假信息，尤其是在医疗领域，这可能会威胁到人们的生命。因此，我们需要辨别事实与虚构，并依赖科学依据。 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 我认为互联网已经成为了虚假信息的温床，而 Dr. Noc 正试图纠正这些错误信息。我们必须认识到，现在每个人都可以发布信息，这既是好事也是坏事。 Dr. Noc: 我认为信息传播方式的转变，从印刷到广播再到社交媒体，使得任何人都可以轻松地发布内容。虽然这实现了信息的民主化，但也导致了虚假信息的泛滥。现在，医疗信息必须以娱乐的方式呈现，才能吸引人们的注意力。 Chuck Nice: 我也觉得真相往往是无聊的，而人们会因为信息不够有趣而忽视它。我们如何在简洁且有趣的对话中传递重要的科学信息，这是一个挑战。
