Our Natural Stupidity – Science Confronts Our Rebellious Brains
October 9 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
On Friday 9 October 2026, as part of a ‘5@7’ event, come along for free to the talk, Our Natural Stupidity – Science Confronts Our Rebellious Brains, given by Joël Leblanc, a science journalist.
It only takes a few minutes to spread falsehoods. Debunking them can take days. This is a major challenge for science journalists… and for everyone.
What is science, and what constitutes reliable information? Why are our brains drawn to unreliable information?
A talk on the scientific method and our cognitive biases; in short, on critical thinking applied to everyday life.
