Title:
Bisakah kamu mengalahkan kekeliruan logika yang membodohi segenerasi dokter? - Elizabeth Cox
Speaker:
Elizabeth Cox
Description:

It's 1843, and a debate is raging about one of the most common killers of women: childbed fever— no one knows what causes it. One physician has observed patients with inflammation go on to develop childbed fever, and therefore believes the inflammation causes the fever. What's the problem with this argument? Elizabeth Cox explores the false cause fallacy and how to dissect claims with skepticism. [Directed by TOGETHER, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Massassauga].
