Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

“Sagan’s Razor is named after legendary astrophysicist Carl Sagan. It can be summarised by this sentence.”

This is aligned with our evidence-based inclusion practice

“A “razor” is a principle or rule of thumb that helps you make better decisions because it eliminates unlikely explanations or hypotheses.”

Always ask if the evidence is strong enough for your purposes

“Here are 6 questions to ask when people talk about Inclusion”
