Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In & What We Can Do About It

We're all susceptible to misinformation, often spreading it unknowingly. While stopping it entirely is impossible, we can learn how deception works, recognize the signs, and empower ourselves.

Join us for a talk with Professor Dan Simons, co-author of Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It, brought to you in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Illinois Mis/Disinformation Task Force.
