You know what they say... If it's on the internet, then it must be true! Well, sorry to bee a buzzzzzz kill, but, there’s A LOT of fake news in the world. The spread of false information has become a serious challenge to evidence-based decision-making and science communication. So, how can one attempt to cut through the noise and separate fact from fiction?

Join the Amys and their brilliant guest, Dr. Erica Feuerbacher – professor, researcher, and applied animal behavior extraordinaire – for a closer look at what makes research valuable and valid. We discuss how to critically read research papers, what to consider when confronted with claims, and how to evaluate sources for signs of credibility.

But even the most enthusiastic bug smasher is no match for this invasion, so scientists are trying out a new method for identifying and getting rid of these insects– training dogs to sniff them out.:

Joining me to talk about this strategy are my guests, Dr. Nathan Hall, director of the Canine Olfaction Research and Education Laboratory at Texas Tech, and Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, associate professor of applied animal welfare and behavior at Virginia Tech. Welcome, both of you, to Science Friday.
