Eugenie Scott, Ph.D.

WHAT: Why do people reject good
science?
This month’s SkepTalk is presented at the the explOratorium’s After Dark: Matters of Fact. How can we know the truth? Do facts matter? What distinguishes justified belief from opinion, and why do our personal biases keep us from seeing the whole picture? Join us to learn more about the anchors of scrupulous science and diligent data, how they can be exploited, and tools to find the facts for yourself.

BAS will have tables demonstrating how to think about and analyze pseudoscientific claims. In addition, there are the usual hundreds of interactive explOratorium exhibits for you to play with. It will be a fun-filled evening for adults (alcohol is available).
