Summary
On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Renee DiResta, researcher and author of “Invisible Rulers,” joined the program to discuss how social media algorithms amplify misinformation and conspiracy theories. DiResta explained how online networks can turn fringe narratives into widely believed stories, and how digital platforms shape public perception in ways many users may not realize. Next, Grace Vanderhei, nuclear fuels engineer at Constellation Energy and Miss America 2023, discussed the role nuclear power could play in addressing the global energy crisis. Vanderhei explained how nuclear energy fits into the broader clean energy conversation and why many experts see it as a key part of future energy solutions. Finally, Steve Dubiel, CEO of the Washington’s National Park Fund, joined the show for the weekly national parks segment to talk about the nonprofit’s work supporting Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades National Parks, and how these iconic parks are protected and enhanced through conservation efforts and visitor support.
