Episode 7 − Finding Things Out: Conversation with the MythBusters (Part 1)
Channel: UQx Think101
Date: 2014-04-13

Testing claims and finding things out can be fun, but also empowering. Zeroing in on the source gives us far more control than any other method, and allows us to spend our time and effort on things that produce genuine effects. We discuss prediction problems, the difficulty in changing our mind, and provide some checklist tools to figure out what information is missing.
