This course offers a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific process, exploring how modern science
developed, what scientists actually do, and what makes research reliable. We will examine the strengths and weaknesses of scientific methodology, uncover common pitfalls, and identify red flags for psuedoscience and untrustworthy findings. Rather than relying on blind faith in science, we will learn how to evaluate research critically-and find trust in the process.
