FemTalks: What is a Scientific Fact?

Facts are a cornerstone of knowledge systems. They inform scientific and social judgements and goals. But what is a fact? Is it an aspect of capital T Truth? An objective statement? Does it depend on humans or society? In this discussion, we'll share what we know and believe about facts and their relationship to science and society, and learn a bit about theory of facts in science and other contexts.

Everyone is welcome!
