🧵Addressing common misconceptions about science

1. There is no single “scientific method”: The recipe-like “scientific method” presented in countless textbooks is at best an oversimplification and at worst…wrong. There are endless ways to collect and evaluate evidence. 2. Science isn’t just a collection of facts: While science textbooks are often filled with facts, science is a process of learning about the natural world. It isn’t just what we know, it’s how we know. (Also, “facts” aren’t set in stone. Just ask Pluto.)

Nearly all scientists say climate change is real & caused by humans. But maybe it’s a hoax…& they’re all conspiring? 1/6
