Chad Stern was a member of the Sam Houston Institute of Technology in 2015.
Biography[]
Stern was required, as part of a study by the institute as to whether the public were easily fooled by bogus news stories and made-up research from fictional institutions, to show 5200 people of all age groups an issue of USA Today full of fictional news articles and studies and inspired by the movie Back to the Future Part II.
The findings were reported in the story Public more gullible than ever by Travis Pietsch on the front cover of the October 22, 2015 issue of USA Today.[1]
