Critical Science
Critical Science is focused on a few things I (Dr. Lyle Burgoon) love -- critical thinking (which I don’t do enough of at home, ask my family), science, and applied ethics. And ya know what -- even scientists, who are supposed to be trained to be critical thinkers, often mess it up (I’m certainly not perfect). In each episode I try to combine these two passions of mine. Sometimes, we’ll explore a topic in the news in a slightly more critical way. Other times we might explore how a lack of critical thought has led to some minor, and sometimes major, problems. But ultimately, I want us to explore critical thinking more deeply. How do we do this critical thinking thing, anyway? What do we need to watch out for? And how does critical thinking align with the scientific method as it’s actually practiced by real scientists? And we’ll tackle tough subjects like applied ethics challenges and scientific integrity questions. My hope is that through this journey we’ll learn and grow into better critical thinkers -- together.
