We live in a world where data and science is more accessible and used than ever. However, all this information is often either misunderstood or misused. Quentin Gallea sees this threat of illiteracy as an issue which makes people subject to manipulation. In this talk you will acquire the basic tools of reading this information: the statistics first aid kit. Quentin will use a language that we all understand, abstract from the math, but teaching key concepts which you will be able to carry with you, and transfer to others. These key tools will ensure that you won't feel unarmed in front of numbers, of illegitimate claims anymore.
