The Fake News Show

The Fake News Show

By: Andrea Mameli, Luca Mameli

In this conference-show Andrea Mameli and Luca Mameli will engage with the public in the difficult art of demolishing fake news (“debunking”). Some cases of absurd news, sensational misunderstandings, hoaxes and fake news will be presented, always on a scientific topic.
