Scientifically Together, Politically Apart? - Science & Education
Science education is generally perceived as a key facilitator in cultivating a scientifically literate society. In the last decade, however, this conventional wisdom has been challenged by evidence that greater scientific literacy and critical thinking skills may in fact inadvertently aggravate polarization on scientific matters in the public sphere. Supporting an alternative “scientific update hypothesis,” in a series of studies (total N = 2087), we show that increased science’s epistemology literacy might have consequential population-level effects on the public’s alignment with scientific results. In one exploratory study and a pre-registered national online survey, we first show that understanding scientific epistemology predicts refusal of pseudoscientific beliefs and higher scores in a methodology of science test. We also find and replicate a propensity for epistemologically literate citizens to endorse the norm of belief updating and the communicated scientific consensus following both ideologically congruent and incongruent scientific results. Notably, after 2 months of first being presented with scientific results on politically controversial issues, a one standard deviation higher score in epistemological literacy is associated with a 14% increase in the odds of individuals switching their beliefs to align with the scientifically communicated consensus. We close by discussing how, on the face of ideological incongruity, a general understanding of scientific epistemology might foster the acceptance of scientific results, and we underscore the need for a more nuanced appreciation of how education, public comprehension of scientific knowledge, and the dynamics of polarization intersect in the public sphere.
A great read on history of science, art history and colonial history. If context is that which is scarce, this research adds much context to Hume’s infamous footnote, the portrait of Francis Williams, and newtonianism in the 18th century

Daniel LakensNew episode of Nullius In Verba on induction and the generalizability crisis. I think this is one of our best episodes so far! Can we create generalizable scientific knowledge through induction? How would it work (or why would it not work) in practice? https://nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/induction-deduction/
Episode 47: Inductio et Deductio | Nullius in Verba
In this episode, we delve into induction and deduction and talk further about issues related to generalizability. Shownotes Popper, K. The Logic of Scientific Discovery. (1953). Hutchinson & Co.
