Unfortunately, we also have to contend with the flood of misinformation that threatens to overwhelm us. In response, the McGill Office for Science and Society was established to disseminate sound science with a mandate of separating sense from nonsense. As Director of the Office, I have experienced various adventures in the battle against pseudoscience, some amusing, and some more serious. Also, being on one end of a radio microphone and in front of television cameras for over forty years has provided fascinating insight into the public’s perception of science and has afforded an opportunity to foster critical thinking and help people distinguish fact from fancy.</em></span><br>

He is the recipient of numerous awards for teaching chemistry and for interpreting science for the public. “Dr Joe” has hosted a radio show on science for forty years, has appeared hundreds of times on television, writes a regular newspaper column and is the author of eighteen best-sellers. He has been awarded honorary degrees by Athabasca University, Cape Breton University, the University of Windsor and Simon Fraser University. Professor Schwarcz is also an amateur magician and often spices up his presentations with a little magic.</span></p>
