My primary research interests focus on the impact of “fake news” and misinformation, with an emphasis on strategies that can be used to try and reduce the influence and impact of misinformation.

I also maintain an interest in non-evidence based beliefs more broadly, such as conspiracy theories, paranormal beliefs, and science denialism, as well as a broader set of research interests across the domains of migration, judgement, decision making, memory, reasoning, and cognitive bias.
