Is there any way to do citizen science around misinformation?

Post date: 2021-01-12 23:30:33

I have an advanced degree in an applied social psychology, work psychology. I have training in research methods/design and statistical analysis using R and SPSS, relevant subjects such as attitude, knowledge and learning theory, and some consumer behavior theory as well as real-life marketing experience. (marketing and consumer behavior seem like it might be pretty generalizable to understanding the epistemic crisis we are in). I'd like to help in any way I can and it sounds very interesting.

I've always been interested in topics of epistemology, and for some time conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. I used to read Carl Sagan and James Randi stuff when I was younger. I want to know if there is any way I can contribute to research on this subject through a citizen science group or anything more formal. I'd like to help out. This is also becoming something that hits pretty close to home. I'd like to help.
