Thank you very much for this question.
Citizens make decisions every day. That, of course, affects our institutions and our democracy. It's very important that they be able to judge the integrity, validity and quality of the information, and the quality of the evidence. We can also put all of these into the sentence on the scientific method, which is going about in a rigorous, analytical manner proving or disproving your hypothesis.
This, in many ways, is what citizen science also teaches you. It's not only about gathering information and data. You have to do it in a way that's consistent and is going to end up being representative. If you generalize conclusions, then you have to be sure that this is actually reflective of everything.
It's all of these things that you learn to question that will help to tell you if something is true information or disinformation. You're going to be able to question the integrity, the source and the method by which the information is being disseminated and has been gathered.
