"Dr. Joe Schwarcz is a professor of chemistry and is the director of McGill University's Office for Science and society, which has the mission of separating sense from nonsense. He hosts a radio show, appears on television, writes a regular newspaper column, and has authored eighteen bestsellers. Dr. Joe is also an amateur magician and lives in Montréal. In 'Quack Quack', Dr. Joe Schwarcz focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation."
