Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan made the case succinctly: If your concern is climate change, and you believe that slowing or preventing it is your fundamental priority, then nuclear power should be high up on the list for energy-production. He was responding to… https://tajschoolofhealth.com/contact-us/ Continue Reading…

Buy Clonazepam Online Overnight In recent years, we’ve seen episodic waves of hysteria over reports of brain tumors and other cancers allegedly caused by cell phones and WiFi.

Some feel so certain in their rightness that they try to control the discourse and purge those deemed insufficiently true to the movement’s cause. A political example of this would be today’s U.S. Republican Party, which, as David Frum… https://loychiro.com/meet-doctor-loy/ Continue Reading…

But if I was the administrator at a university and a foundation offered me funding to establish a program curriculum for one or the other–which would result in a mandatory class for all in-coming freshmen–I would choose news literacy.

Why Science Fails to Persuade

January 24, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in alternative medicine, homeopathy, science, science communication, select | 1 comment

https://www.wearabledynamics.com/snappy/ One of the big reasons why evidence-based arguments so often fail to persuade is that people turn to their own trusted sources for information. For example, I know that Vandana Shiva is peddling a load of horseshit about Indian farmers committing suicide en masse supposedly because of Monsanto and GMOs. (There’s a part of me… Continue Reading…
