During this time when we are all staying home for the greater good, science still goes on. To be able to continue to discuss how it’s received in the world, we’ve transformed our monthly happy hours into weekly fireside chats, held over Zoom.
Join us this Tuesday, May 5, from 6-8 PM EST for our fourth chat! Open to scientists and science advocates of all ages and backgrounds.
THIS WEEK BY THE FIRE: Science is political, but should not be partisan. This week, we discuss partisan brain: entrenching your beliefs along party lines might actually be altering the way you perceive new information and superceding your values. We’ll discuss discuss how this occurs and what we can do to reduce these biases.
