Author of the international bestseller, This Is Your Brain on Music, Daniel Levitin has moved his attention to the online world of pseudo-facts, distortions and outright lies. In an on-stage interview with journalist and lecturer Kathryn Gretsinger, Levitin shows us how to recognize misleading announcements and reveals accessible ways to think critically about the words and numbers we are asked to believe. The evening promises to be as eye opening as it is entertaining.
