You have the resources.

You have the platforms.

Now stand up and speak out against pseudoscience!

Is someone on your Facebook making inaccurate claims about life-and-death matters like vaccinations or alternative medicine? Are you concerned about pseudosciences like astrology having more public notoriety than real sciences like astronomy? Don’t be afraid to speak out and stand up for reason, evidence and, most important of all, truth! Too many people are far too timid. Many fear that their voice is not enough to make a difference - but together we can make a difference.

Stand up, speak out, make your voice heard! Help people understand that scientific advancement is the key to many of our most pressing problems, and that allowing pseudoscience to go unchallenged undermines the progress of our species and our society. The internet is a place of knowledge, but also a place of misinformation. Let’s inform people! But be careful of bias, and retain your critical thinking - be intellectually honest, above all.

Share videos. Create content. Do whatever you have to do, but every little bit counts. Afraid you won’t change anybody’s mind? You would be surprised! Also, discussions on public mediums can garner significant audiences, and fence-sitters might fall on the right side, and speak out themselves. Science is interesting and fulfilling, and it is important. It’s time we started acting that way.
