    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Jared Yates Sexton

    Being well-funded matters little in this respect if it doesn’t include the right kind of specific education about skepticism and critical thinking. I know of people (e.g. @pjcolbeck) who graduated from the very same excellent high school I did but became antivax and creationist.https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1200449536164020225 …

    The antidote to propaganda, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and virtually every attack on democratic institutions is well-funded education. And it's no coincidence that when you look at who benefits from those things you find the people who slash education funding.

        I too am very concerned about this lack of critical thinking/scientific skepticism training for other health professions as well. Nursing, pt ot dental public health etc. Dr's Hall + Howard's materials/ book help. But who is working on this that I can model? Syllabi? curriculum?

        Alas, I would love to say that my vaunted medical school taught me critical thinking - it taught me great medicine, and a bit of it, but didn’t close the loop.

        So you decided to sic your supporters on Patrick Colbeck this morning? We call that targeted harassment.
