David Robert Grimes shows how we can be lured into making critical mistakes or drawing false conclusions, and how to avoid such errors. Given the power of modern science and the way that movements can unite to protest a cause via social media, we are in dangerous times. But fortunately, we can learn from our mistakes, and by critical thinking and scientific method we can discover how to apply these techniques to everything from deciding what insurance to buy to averting global disaster.
David Robert Grimes is a physicist, cancer researcher, and author. His work encompasses everything from how tumors use oxygen to the impact of disinformation and conspiracy theory on public understanding.
He is a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and received the 2014 John Maddox Prize for communicating science in the face of adversity. His first book, Good Thinking: Why Flawed Logic Puts Us All at Risk and How Critical Thinking Can Save the World was described as an unstoppable page turner by Richard Dawkins. It is out now from Experiment Publishing.
