Register now to attend CSICon 2023: skepticalinquirer.org/csicon
The Nobel Prize-winner will discuss research from university classrooms that reveals how traditional teaching fails to give students an understanding of scientific knowledge and the nature of science itself and can even support the development of anti-science beliefs. However, that same research also reveals how to improve science teaching, offering lessons on how to provide all students with the quality of science education so critically needed in the modern world.
