The Layman Scientist
Welcome to The Layman Scientist!
Started in December 2023, this educational blog is dedicated to exploring diverse scientific topics with the overarching aim of enhancing public understanding of science. My goal is to cultivate skepticism, critical thinking, rationality, and scientific literacy among readers. Through engaging content, I aspire to illuminate the power of scientific inquiry and its role in comprehending the world. Embracing a scientific way of thinking will empower you to make informed life decisions, scrutinise information critically, discern fake news, recognise cognitive biases, and adopt a curious, lifelong learning mindset. Through this blog, not only will I share intriguing scientific facts but, I'll also provide ample evidence and academic sources to support them. As the saying goes at the Royal Society of London, 'Nullius in verba!'—Take nobody's word for it. Join me as we explore the world of science with an inquisitive mind!
