Carl Sagan (1996): Science is not simply “a body of knowledge, it’s a way of thinking,” one based on skepticism and questioning.
“If we are not able to ask questions to interrogate those who tell us something is true ... then we are up for grabs for the next charlatan who comes ambling along."

It's great to see so many of the edutwitter OGs such as @teacherhead.bsky.social as well as institutions like @collegeofteaching.bsky.social here on #edusky. For many years edutwitter helped bring cognitive science and educational evidence/research to the forefront of teaching practice.
