Omnivore Presents: SciDish | Myth Busting Misinformation: How to Counter Science Denial | OCT 2025
Description
Scientific misinformation has become a defining challenge of our time—fueling consumer confusion, eroding public trust, and influencing policy in ways that can undermine health outcomes and industry credibility. From nutrition myths and food additive fearmongering to unscientific claims from influential voices, food professionals now face an imperative to engage with science denial—not just ignore it. In this special live podcast recording from IFT FIRST 2025, Science communication experts Charlie Arnot and Veronica Jaramillo unpack why misinformation spreads, how it shapes public attitudes, and what the science community can do to push back.
