Hanging Out with Galileo: The Man, His Life, His Science

Behind Galileo’s famous beard & gruff eyes lies the story of a man with all his flaws & weaknesses. Yet a man who, more than any of his contemporaries, set the tone for a modern way of doing science.

Join Italian economist Luciano Canova to discover Galileo’s extraordinary life & the way he taught us to debunk fake news using “hard-boiled eggs”.
