Ignite Bristol 02 - Martin Poulter - What is Bayesianism and why should you care?

- Martin Poulter

A revolution that transformed science, medicine and critical thinking can be traced back to a paper by an 18th Century vicar. Martin Poulter explains how Thomas Bayes' insight helps us decide who is a murderer, who has cancer, whether we should torture terror suspects, and whether you're being flirted with.

Bio:

PhD in Philosophy; interested in cognitive biases and critical thinking; records music as Coma Pilot and Mister Oestrogen; ICT manager for the Economics Network at Bristol University.
