Brown University School of Public Health Launches Information Futures Lab

In response to the information crisis that threatens to undo major achievements in public health and erode the foundations of democracies, the Brown University School of Public Health announced the creation of the Information Futures Lab. The Lab investigates the harms of misinformation, data deficits, outdated communications practices, and other barriers to meeting the information needs of communities. The Information Futures Lab will be a key innovator in the emerging field of complex information challenges at the intersection of public health, political science, communications, economics, data science, digital humanities, social sciences, medical anthropology, and healthcare.
