NCASVideo YouTube Channel:
Are science museums skeptical? Science
museums are great at presenting scientific facts, but what about
the scientific method, critical thinking, and scientific
skepticism? In this draft of my presentation for the Sunday
Morning Papers session of CSICon Las Vegas 2024, I examine science
museum exhibits in search of skeptical content.
After Dr. Behrens completes his short presentation, NCAS members
will be invited by email to join the online Zoom meeting to ask
questions and provide constructive feedback.
Bruce Behrens studied High Energy Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, receiving his Ph.D. in 1995. Following postdoctoral research at Cornell University, Dr. Behrens became a research scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses, the US Navy's Federally Funded Research and Development Corporation, where he provides evidence-based advice to military leaders. In 2023, he founded the Behrens Science Museum to teach critical thinking and the scientific method through exhibits about pseudoscience and the paranormal.
