Matthew Facciani, PhD

I'm a social scientist at the Yale School of Public Health. With a background in neuroscience, psychology, and sociology, my research examines media literacy, misinformation, social networks, political polarization, trust, and artificial intelligence. I'm the author of Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What to Do About It (Columbia University Press), host of Misguided: The Podcast, and a science communicator working to bridge academia and everyday conversations about truth, trust, and media literacy.
