As part of the Skeptoid Whistle-Stop Tour, Brian Dunning will be visiting listener groups all across the US.
Science communicators do almost as much bad science as anyone. This talk blows the lid off some of the huge mistakes the media has made, some terrible but popular so-called "skeptical" explanations for famous phenomena. It's a lot of fun, covers a lot of ground, and exposes a lot of stories and urban legends you've heard of. The concepts it presents -- thinking errors, perceptual errors, preconceived notions and biases -- are universally applicable to professionals in any industry or to students in any subject.
Location is on the UNO Campus. Building and room will be disclosed to RSVPs only (RSVP on the Meetup page, follow the Event link above). Proof of vaccination, masking and social distancing required. Attendance is limited, no food or drink allowed, attendees must be 19 or over.
Event is FREE.
