Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World

Join us for the online book club on Tuesday Dec 9th where we’ll be discussing Calling Bullshit The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World byCarl Bergstrom and Jevin West, a timely and entertaining look at how misinformation and bad data shape the world around us. The authors, both science professors, show us how to think critically about the numbers, charts, and claims we encounter every day.

It’s a great read for anyone who wants to be a little more sceptical, a little more informed, and a lot more confident in calling out bad information when they see it.
