Hello all INFORMS book readers; the votes are in! The selection we will be reading at our next book club meeting is...
Calling Bullsh*t: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World
Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news abound and it's increasingly difficult to know what's true. Our media environment has become hyperpartisan. Science is conducted by press release. Startup culture elevates bullshit to high art. We are fairly well equipped to spot the sort of old-school bullshit that is based in fancy rhetoric and weasel words, but most of us don't feel qualified to challenge the avalanche of new-school bullshit presented in the language of math, science, or statistics.
The November Book Club will be held on Thursday, November 20 - 2:00 pm - 3:00pm Eastern Time.
