🔍 About the event:
Join us for an online book club session where we will discuss Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World by Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West. This timely and entertaining book provides an insightful look at how misinformation and flawed data influence the world around us. Both authors, science professors, teach us how to critically evaluate numbers, charts, and claims we encounter daily.
This is a great read for anyone who wishes to become more skeptical, better informed, and more confident in identifying and calling out bad information.
