SUMMARY:Agri - Culture: What is the role of social sciences and humanities in science?
DESCRIPTION:Peter Anderson\, a historical and cultural geographer of science\, will discuss how his research on the history of Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm relates to ongoing efforts to protect and expand Agriculture Canada’s scientific capacity at the Farm. An active member of the Coalition to Protect the Farm\, Pete places the research at the farm in its historic and cultural context\, arguing for the importance of continuing research at the Farm by highlighting past successes. He also applies the lessons of environmental history and science & technologies studies to support agricultural science against the lingering effects of the last decade’s science wars\, emphasizing the importance of basic and applied government research in a time of changing climates. \nThe Coalition to Protect the Farm is a community organization dedicated to protecting the Central Experimental Farm (CEF) in Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada. \nFounded in 1886\, the Central Experimental Farm is one of the longest running agricultural research facilities in the world. In 2014 MP John Baird announced that 60 acres of land from the Central Experimental Farm would be leased to the Ottawa Hospital for a new campus for the Civic Hospital.  \nMeetup Signup Page

SUMMARY:Your Deceptive Mind: A Scientific Guide to Critical Thinking Skills
DESCRIPTION:Many people are familiar with Steve Novella\, as host of the Skeptics Guide to the Universe\, blogger at Science-Based Medicine\, or just all-round goto guy for scientific skepticism. \nBut you may not know that Novella has created a video course in critical thinking offered by The Great Courses. \nHere’s a summary:  \nWhat should you think? Who should you believe? Could you be deceiving yourself? These are questions that all critical thinkers of any age must constantly ask themselves. There is no more important skill in today’s world than being able to think about\, understand\, and act on information in a way that is both effective and responsible. Critical thinking transforms you from a passive member of society into an active participant in the ideas and issues of the day. It empowers you to better understand nearly every single aspect of everyday life\, from health and nutrition to science and technology to philosophical and spiritual belief systems. \nEveryone is welcome to join us to view the lectures and join in lively followup discussion.  There are 24 lectures and we will be viewing 2 per session.  \nPlease be sure to sign up on Meetup for this event! http://www.meetup.com/CFI-ottawa/events/226615661/
