Faculty, students, researchers, and clinicians are struggling how to deal with the post-truth world as the broader public lacks an understanding of the complexity of the scientific research process. This has resulted in the dissemination of mis- and disinformation that is increasingly used to shape public opinion in medical-related matters, for example, the rise of anti-vaxxers and resistance to COVID-19 pandemic social isolation protocols. In addition, physiologists and scientists play relatively limited role when engaging the broader public in this regard.

Truth Unveiled: Navigating Science and Society in an Era of Doubt provides valuable information to inform researchers and clinicians and better train students on the broader aspects of the scientific process and how to best counteract mis- and disinformation.

This book is published as part of the Fundamentals of Physiology series in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences and should be a useful resource for lecturers when training physiologists, biomedical scientists, and medical and allied health students.
