S5.E5 - Misinformation & Disinformation
Episode 5
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
Misinformation spreads fast—but how do we separate fact from opinion in an increasingly noisy information landscape? In last episode of season five, we dig into misinformation and disinformation in healthcare. We chat with Assistant Professor and Pharmacist Jennifer Lake on the critical difference between misinformation and disinformation and Associate Professor Colin Furness on why expert voices must play a bigger role in public conversations—even as the definition of “expert” itself becomes contested. The discussion also looks at the University of Toronto’s Beyond Borders initiative and how political shifts, particularly in the United States, could shape the future of health research and healthcare in Canada. Tune in for a timely conversation about trust, expertise and the fight against misinformation in public health.
