This session isn’t just about how to think critically, but just as importantly, how it relates to pop science. Our intent for today is to help you thinking critically about information you come across will help you better understand the information. As Engineers and computer scientists, you have to make sure you are helping others understand what is credible and what is not. Take your critical thinking skills to the next level - apply them to what you see all over social media and the Internet. This workshop discusses how to recognize and cultivate clear, logic-based analyses of controversial scientific topics in the context of modern political and popular culture.
