Welcome to Ivory Embassy!
Ivory Embassy wants to activate that little scientist inside your head to think more like a scientist. We dive into the science, philosophy, and psychology of scientific thinking to help you to think critically and solve problems using scientific methods.
In today’s fast-paced, information-dense society, knowing how to consume trustworthy information and structure your thinking and life projects is essential. Scientific thinking and problem-solving can help you develop these skills, and we’re here to show you how.
Learn and train to think like a scientist
A scientist is constantly confronted by issues requiring systematic thinking and problem-solving. They develop skills and expertise that help them solve the most intricate problems that shape our understanding of the world.
However, these skills are not inborn; most scientists don’t possess a gene that gives them thinking powers that surpass everyone else’s. Scientists develop skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and researching with time because they need them.
In other words, you can also develop these skills! In fact, I’d say you should develop skills that improve your life! No magic, no fluff.
Whether a student, teacher, business professional, scientist, healthcare professional, journalist, civil servant or just about anyone, thinking as a scientist can benefit you. Scientific thinking can improve decision-making, increase creativity, and enhance problem-solving skills.
Learn to think critically, solve problems, and master the science behind the science. Think like a scientist!
At Ivory Embassy, you’ll find thought-provoking articles and presentations teaching how scientists approach problems. You’ll learn how to consume and convey information and use scientific thinking to improve your everyday life.
