  1. Matter for Thought - Timeless insights for modern physics

    "What has not been understood at first may be understood later when the mind has already been prepared to do so by previous reading."

    👨‍🔬Quote by Pierre Hippolyte Boutigny, French physicist

  9. Many thanks to Andrea Kantrowitz for transcribing the long conversation we had back in August!

    If you like my idea of a 'drawing class' for scientists, let's talk. I'd love to try that out! 🤙

  12. #Science #Conservatives #Conservativism #ScientificThinking: "So sometimes, science can triumph over conservativism. But it's far more common for conservativism to trump science. The most common form of this is "eisegesis," where someone looks at a "pile of data in order to find confirmation in it of what they already 'know' to be true." Think of those anti-mask weirdos who cling to three studies that "prove" masks don't work. Or the climate deniers who have 350 studies "proving" climate change isn't real. Eisegesis proves ivermectin works, that vaccinations are linked to autism, and that water fluoridation is a Communist plot. So long as you confine yourself to considering evidence that confirms your beliefs, you can prove anything.

    Respecting norms is a good rule of thumb, but it's a lousy rule. The politicization of science starts with the right's intolerance for ambiguity – not Scientific American's Harris endorsement."

    📚 "In public discourse, research and academic writing, logical fallacies should always be avoided because they invalidate conclusions and arguments. Unfortunately, it is easy to commit such logical fallacies ourselves."

  24. What is Critical Thinking?

    📚 "Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.

    "To become a better critical thinker, you therefore need to learn how to:

    [1] Clarify your thinking purpose and context;
    [2] Question your sources of information;
    [3] Identify arguments;
    [4] Analyse sources and arguments;
    [5] Evaluate the arguments of others; and
    [6] Create or Synthesise your own arguments."
