  text: "<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>\r\n               <jats:p>Given the presence
    of fake news and pseudoscience (often disguised as physics), the importance of
    inoculating citizens against this type of misinformation has gained increasing
    attention in education. This is a goal that all subjects should pursue equally
    from their respective disciplinary perspectives. &amp;#xD;The paper presents a
    teaching approach to protect physics students from misinformation and pseudoscience
    by combining these three common strategies: First, understanding the fundamental
    principles of the Nature of Science. Second, identifying techniques of Science
    Denial. And third, applying heuristics for evaluating (supposedly) scientific
    information. Finally, the paper offers practical suggestions for applying these
    strategies in a master's-level physics course, using examples from the field of
    physics.</jats:p>"
