12 Cognitive biases explained - How to think better and more logically removing bias

In this video, it is about the explanation of 12 cognitive biases and presenting them in a format that learners can easily understand to help them make better decision in your life. Cognitive biases are flaws in logical thinking that clear the path to bad decisions, so learning about these ideas can reduce errors in the thought process, leading to a more successful life. These biases are very closely related to logical fallacies, which may help learners win an argument or present information better.

Automatic Bell Siphon Explained

This is a demo of a bell siphon I built in collaboration with a couple of engineering professors. There are certain cases where it would be nice to be able to create a siphon without any intervention, a self-priming or automatic siphon: the next level of siphonry. It's built out of an acrylic sheet and a piece of clear pipe.
