A post on Kristin Sanford’s excellent science blog, The Bird’s Brain, directed me to a terrific 40 minute video by Brian Dunning on critical thinking. Available here, Dunning describes all the basics for critically engaging, evaluating, and questioning the world around us–particularly focusing on pseudo-science and unsubstantiated pharmacological claims. He presents a well-thoughtout and expertly assembled video. I recommend it, and I might use it in my college writing class in the Fall. Also, check out Dunning’s website and podcast here.
