Much Ado About Nerdy Things - Village Freshman Seminar, Fall 2012
A Swedish production company fooled parts of the tech world into believing Apple was working on an odd-shaped screw. They did this to show how quickly online rumors spread without critical evaluation. It took less than 12 hours for the fake rumor to reach tech reporters. While some journalists were skeptical, most people commenting online accepted it as true without questioning. The hoax demonstrated that critical thinking can evaporate on social media sites.

This document discusses the issues surrounding fake news and how to build information literacy skills to identify fake news. It notes that trust in media is low, especially among younger people, and that social media and the internet have made it more difficult to separate real from fake information. College students had trouble evaluating the reliability of different news sources. The document recommends developing critical thinking skills to evaluate sources, expanding one's sources of information, and corroborating stories with multiple verified sources. It also discusses technological tools and remaining skeptical of all information.
So.cl: An interest Network for Informal Learning
Web search engines emerged prior to the dominance of social media. What if we imagined search as integrating with
social media from the ground up? So.cl is a web application
that combines web browsing, search, and social networking
for the purposes of sharing and learning around topics of interest. In this paper, we present the results of a deployment
study examining existing learning practices around search
and social networking for students, and how these practices
shifted when participants adopted So.cl. We found prior to
using So.cl that students already heavily employed search
tools and social media for learning. With the use of So.cl,
we found that users engaged in lightweight, fun social sharing and learning for informal, personal topics, but not for
more heavyweight collaboration around school or work.
The public nature of So.cl encouraged users to post search
results as much for self expression as for searching, enabling serendipitous discovery around interests.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are caused by more than 25 infectious pathogens that can be transmitted through sexual contact. STIs include diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and syphilis. While some STIs may only cause mild symptoms, left untreated some STIs can lead to serious long-term health problems like infertility, cervical cancer, and even death. It is important for sexually active people to practice safe sex and get tested regularly to prevent the spread of STIs.

Web 2.0 for Biologists–Are any of the current tools worth using?
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory publishes over 200 books annually on topics related to biology and life sciences. It also publishes 6 monthly peer-reviewed journals and maintains an online database of over 1,100 biology protocols. While some scientists have been reluctant to adopt social media and collaborative tools, proponents argue that blogs and wikis can help raise scientists' profiles and facilitate networking and knowledge sharing if the tools are designed appropriately for the scientific community and culture.
Scientific Fraud, Retractions, and the Future of Scientific Publishing
Ivan Oransky gave a presentation on scientific fraud, retractions, and the future of scientific publishing. He discussed the rise in retractions, particularly due to image manipulation and fake data. Most retractions are due to misconduct. Highly cited fraudulent papers continue to be cited even after retraction. Journals often fail to adequately notify readers of retractions. There is a move toward more transparency in retraction notices and post-publication peer review. However, not all are happy with the increased authority of sites like PubPeer to represent the scientific community. Oransky concluded that crime does not pay anymore in scientific publishing, while doing the right thing is being recognized.
