Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, Chair of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Bristol, is an expert in cognitive science focusing on questions such as ‘what determines whether people accept scientific evidence?’ and ‘how does misinformation persist and spread within society?’.

Dr Jon Roozenbeek is an expert on the interplay between the media and our construction of identity, as well as working extensively alongside Professor Van der Linden on novel methods for countering misinformation online.

Professor Sander van der Linden is an Associate Professor of Social Psychology in Society at the Department of Psychology and Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab. Professor Van der Linden’s work focuses on the psychology of human judgement and how people form misperceptions of the world around them.

About SciSoc & Students Against Pseudoscience
The Cambridge Scientific Society was founded in 1995, with the goal of promoting all branches of science at a level both stimulating to those studying science and accessible to those with an arts background. Today, SciSoc is the most active science society at Cambridge, and with more than 1000 permanent members (and a much larger email database), the largest.

Often, the Society is a platform for the first public exposure of new research and findings. Past speakers include Nobel Laureates Sir Roger Penrose, Sir Tim Hunt and Sir John Walker, eminent scientists Sir Richard Friend, Sir John Beddington and Peter Atkins, popular author Matt Ridley, and former Universities and Sciences minister David Willetts among many others.
