Abstract
The author shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don?ts of battling misinformation. For the past 20 years, Offit has fought for sound science and public heath. Stepping into the media spotlight as few scientists have done¯such as being one of the first to speak out against conspiracy theories linking vaccines to autism¯he found himself in the crosshairs of powerful groups intent on promoting pseudoscience. Bad Advice discusses science and its adversaries. Written with wit and passion, Offit?s often humorous guide to taking on quack experts and self-appointed activists is a must-read for anyone disturbed by the uptick in politicized attacks on science.
