Nicole M. Krause

Branko Marcetic, a staff writer at Jacobin, delves into the political dynamics surrounding the lab leak theory and how labeling it as misinformation impacts discourse. Nicole M. Krause, a PhD candidate in science communication, discusses the challenges of defining misinformation, particularly in uncertain scientific contexts. Together, they explore how shifts in political narratives and media framing affect public understanding of science, and the risks of politicizing contested theories in the age of misinformation.
