Dorothy
Bishop is Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology in the Department of
Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. She is a Fellow of the
Royal Society, and an expert on children’s communication and language who
pioneered the study of twins to identify genetic influences. On Twitter, @DeeVyBee
is a passionate advocate of open science, and a savage critic of poor
statistics in research. In this lecture, she will look at some of the causes of
“bad science”: maybe our brains are just not wired right for thinking
scientifically?
