SCIENCE WEEK - Science as a Human Endeavour
On Friday August 10th many of South Australia’s scientists attended an awards dinner for excellence in science, by Department for Industry and Skills.
Many of the scientists were very humble in accepting the awards. Through their videos too you could see them show ‘intellectual humility’.
Research has found that people who prove to be intellectually humble are better at evaluating the quality of evidence. They can distinguish good arguments from weak ones much better, and criticise people less if they changed their mind on issue. Intellectually humble people were more likely to think that it was actually good when people change what they thought based on new evidence. (University of Edinburgh School of Philosophy MOOC 2018)
The scientists provide inspiration, open-mindness, integrity and intellectual humility in the short videos: View them on this link
