Seattle, Washington, United States.[3] Bergstrom is a critic of low-quality or misleading scientific research.[4] He is the co-author of a book on misinformation called Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World and teaches a class by the same name at University of Washington.[5]

Education

Bergstrom completed his

Ph.D. at Stanford University under the supervision of Marcus Feldman[1]
in 1998.

Research

Bergstrom's work concerns the flow of information through biological and social networks,

resistance.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

He is the coauthor (with Lee Dugatkin) of a college textbook, Evolution.[13] With Jevin West, he developed the popular course and website Calling Bullshit.[14][15][16][17][18][19] His work has led to the identification of him as a resource to explain the dynamics of disinformation and misinformation,[20] in general.

In addition to evolutionary biology, Bergstrom's interests include the

open access earned him and his father, Ted Bergstrom, the SPARC Innovator Award in June 2007.[22]
