Had a fun conversation w/ @ConorJDillon + Gabriel Borrud for #ScienceUnscripted podcast @dwnews Starting from @SpacLab's recent paper, we discussed how much we should "dumb down" science to make it accessible and lowering the bar for saying "I don't know" dw.com/en/moderate-knowledge…

'Moderate' knowledge leads to science skepticism

You'd think that the less someone knows, the more likely it is they'll buy in to misinformation. Right? Surprisingly, a new study suggests that, up to a point, it's actually worse to know more.

Are the least knowledgeable also unaware of it? How does confidence vary with (scientific) knowledge? After years of working on these questions @SpacLab, our results are out in @NatureHumBehav 👇 nature.com/articles/s41562-0… @MagSimal @fredericorfrCristina Mendonça Andre Mata

Nature Human Behaviour - Lackner et al. show that individuals with an intermediate level of science knowledge tend to have overconfidence in their own knowledge and negative attitudes to science.

Replying to @SpacLab
@SpacLab had 3 abstracts accepted to @CompleNet and we’re looking forward to it. However, the students decided not to go when they realized it would fall on April 25th. I hope all attendees have a great time and the opportunity to learn about why we could not be there today.

PRE-PRINT from @SpacLab What we call the "flu season" results from several different respiratory viruses including #influenza, #RSV, #corona...These mostly infect(ed) during the winter but the #COVID19 pandemic seriously disrupted their dynamics. How? 1/ medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
