Virtual Event: Jim Al-Khalili at New Scientist LiveThe World According to Physics

The modern world is full of contradictions and we navigate through it as best we can. But what should we believe and how can we be objective in what and whom to trust? The scientific method has served humankind well in our quest to understand the world. It has helped us make sense of complexity and information. It can also help us navigate modern life more confidently.

In this talk, Jim Al-Khalili offers advice drawn from the scientific method, borrowing from what is best about how science is carried out and applying it to our daily lives.
