Coming Soon: Crash Course Scientific Thinking
In a swirl of information, it can feel hard to tell which way is up. On the news, in our FYPs, and around our dinner tables, we’re confronted by scientific claims about our health, safety, and future. Even our own brains can form biases that lead us astray!
But we can get unstuck, keep our wits about us, and make better decisions when we understand how science actually works,
That’s why we’re bringing you Crash Course Scientific Thinking, in partnership with HHMI Biointeractive. Our intrepid host Hank Green and special correspondent Sage will explore why science is so good at helping us become less wrong over time. In seven episodes, we’ll pull back the curtain on peer review, consensus, what makes sources reliable (or not), and what “correlation doesn’t equal causation” actually means. The series will help learners better navigate the information around them, and understand what makes science such a durable, dynamic process for building knowledge. Series starts in January!

I personally am very excited to learn new things and correct my own existing misconceptions. Can't wait!
Alas, it won't be 'required learning' for everyone.
Yes, yes, yes. Scientific literacy for all please.
