The Science of Storytelling
Event Information
Event description
Join Trinity researchers and invited guests as we discuss the theatre of science and who benefits when we turn a blind eye to science
About this Event
How can we recognise "good" science without understanding "bad" science? Join us in the Tent of Bad Science for a series of talks and activities to figure out how to sort the good from the bad!
At the Tent of Bad Science, we look at how science changes... Walk through a history of misconceptions and faulty theories, talk about why these are so compelling, and learn how to avoid being hoodwinked in an era of fake news.
Through neuroscience, creative arts, and psychology, Will Storr, Prof Ruth Barton and Dr Clare Kelly investigate the importance of storytelling and why stories matter, especially when it comes to communicating about science.
