About Keynote Speaker Dr. Alexa Tulett

Dr. Alexa Tullett

Dr. Alexa Tullett

Dr. Tullett is a social psychology professor at the University of Alabama. She is interested in how people form, hold on to, and change their beliefs, particularly in the realms of politics and science. Some of her work takes a meta-scientific approach, turning the tools of science inward to examine how psychological research is done. She discusses these topics, and many others, on the podcasts The Black Goat and Two Psychologists Four Beers.

Keynote Address: Promoting Scientific Skepticism in a Time of Science Denial

Skepticism is a cornerstone of scientific inquiry. Nevertheless, doubts about the legitimacy of science can be weaponized by corporations and politicians for personal gain. For this reason, it seems important to understand how to cultivate scientific skepticism without fueling science denial. This talk will tackle this problem within social psychology, first documenting legitimate reasons for skepticism, then turning to growing reasons for trust, and ending on possible pathways forward.
