Rachel Carson’s *Silent Spring* spurred vital environmental reforms but also sparked chemophobia—fear of synthetic chemicals as inherently harmful. This myth endures, fueling misinformation, “natural” product hype, and mistrust of science. Remember: The dose makes the poison.

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇
