Our team (collaborators Mike Schmierbach, Penn State; Alyssa Appelman, Northern Kentucky University; Mike Boyle, West Chester University) has received $4,000 from the Penn State summer news literacy fund to develop misinformation interventions about climate change on social media this summer, which will be tested in future research.
