As the pandemic has unfolded, social media has once again demonstrated how it can inform – or mislead – by encouraging the spread of literally deadly information. Join us as faculty from USC Dornsife, Keck School of Medicine at USC and USC Viterbi School of Engineering converge for a Dornsife Dialogue to discuss the implications of misinformation from political, social and engineering perspectives – and how it could alter the course of social media.
