The Joy of Science Jim Al-Khalili
Event details
Today’s world is unpredictable and full of contradictions, and navigating its complexities while trying to make the best decisions is far from easy.
The scientific method has served humankind well in its quest to see things as they really are, and underpinning it are core principles that can help us all navigate modern life more confidently.
At this event, quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author and BBC host Jim Al-Khalili reveals how eight lessons from the heart of science can help you get the most out of life.
Learn about:
- The nature of truth and uncertainty;
- The role of doubt;
- The pros and cons of simplification;
- The value of guarding against bias;
- The importance of evidence-based thinking;
- And more!
Discover the joy of science, become empowered to think more objectively, see through the fog of your own preexisting beliefs and lead a more fulfilling life.
