Find people who think critically and listen to them criticize stuff. Hint: There are an awful lot to be found on podcasts.

Pick any item on their resume. Ask questions about what they wrote. If they can’t give any explanation beyond the actual wording of the item, or if their explanation is nonsense, then it’s not a good sign. However, as a hiring manager you h

Very much this. I thought PG's essay was a West-Coast-centric breakdown of social strata. In my school, our nerds were not overachievers (I should know because I was one and we were all slackers :). The overachievers were all savvy eno

Human beings learn by example. This is no different. If students are finding it hard to think, then perhaps it's because they have no examples around them of people thinking. Principle of parsimony. There's also a character aspect

My “argument,” which is really more of an observation since we’re not debating anything, is clear. Epidemiology, as a social science, should not escape the same skepticism we approach the other social sciences with. Perhaps my comment is sl
