Doug Bostrom<p>"Conventional educational strategies in combatting post-truth seem to emphasize merits of truth, evidence, and reason. Such focus misses key elements of the post-truth era. It ignores the political dynamics that engulf science as well as the antiscience campaign that is deliberately carried out and amplified in the public domain. Post-truth demands a cultural shift in science education to ensure that sociological and political contexts of science are explicitly taught and understood."</p><p>Easier and more plausible with delivery of some remedial education in relevant <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/SocialScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialScience</span></a>-- for the educators themselves. </p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/PostTruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostTruth</span></a> <br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misinformation</span></a> <br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ScienceEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceEducation</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.adx5458?af=R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/full/10.1126/s</span><span class="invisible">cience.adx5458?af=R</span></a></p>
