"Fake news in the science universe is dangerously popular. Misleading data about drugs and vaccines became even more common in the COVID-19 pandemic, but misinformation about biology, chemistry, physics, computer science and mathematics also goes viral with force, often hand-in-hand with fake studies and low-quality research.
It was because of this scenario that the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and the Serrapilheira Institute sealed a partnership to support collaborative feature stories - conducted by Brazilian journalists, communicators and/or researchers - that seek to investigate who finances disinformation in science and how to combat it. The deadline for entries will be from Jan. 17 to Feb. 5, 2023."
