essay around 150 words

Critical thinking is essential for scientists and non-scientists alike. Start to think about what critical thinking means to you. How do you define critical thinking? How often do you do it? Do you think it is important?

With your ideas to these questions in mind, go on to read the article Gawande, A. 2016. The Mistrust of Science. The New Yorker. [online]

Once you post your view point you will then see what others have posted. You must do one view point post and at least 2 response posts in order to receive full credit.
