What is the Mental Immunity Project?
The Mental Immunity Project (MIP) is a partnership between the Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative (CIRCE) and Thinking Is Power (TIP). CIRCE brings a robust base of research and TIP a rich experience in teaching critical thinking skills. Through MIP, we’re delivering top of the line, research-based educational resources to enhance the critical thinking skills and empower the minds of many.
Our goal is to equip everyone with the skills they need to spot and shed the worst kinds of ideas — extremism, hate, pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, propaganda, etc.

Learning how to build strong mental immune systems can help educators and parents foster critical thinking skills in their students.

Developing strong mental immune systems is key to excelling in school & making informed decisions. You may not be a student, but we’re all learners!

Building upon the work of CIRCE, mental immunity offers endless and exciting research opportunities.

The developing science of cognitive immunology can inform policies around misinformation as well as education-related policy.
