ONLINE PROGRAM
SciCafe: Hive Minds and Political Divide in the Digital Age
Where better to
discuss our ultra-social natures than the online season opener of
your favorite science happy hour? On Wednesday, October 7, at 7 pm
EDT, join psychologist Sarah Rose Cavanagh, and Museum Curator
Rob DeSalle, to explore how our moods, ideas, even our
perceptions of reality synchronize without our conscious awareness
and the effects and risks of “digital magnification,” from echo
chambers to political polarization and conspiracy theories. This
program is free with registration.
