Science is a community of experts using a variety of methods to gather evidence & scrutinize claims. It’s a way of learning about the world, of trying to get closer to the truth by testing our expectations against reality. And it works.

Don’t assume supplements are safe and better because they’re “natural”.

Big Supplement is largely unregulated.

They don’t provide evidence for safety or efficacy, because they don’t have to!

The reiteration effect, aka illusory truth effect, is the tendency for people to believe false information after repeated exposure. Essentially, when determining if something is true, our brains rely on familiarity, which increases with repetition.

What is science? Stephanie from Stephanie Simoes and I briefly discuss common misconceptions about science.

Being able to change your mind with evidence is a good thing.

I heard Anthony Trecek-King ask Dmitri, “You haven’t been thrown for a while, have you?”

To which I responded, “Most people know better than to throw cats, so my guess is it’s been a while.”

Dear Clothing Manufacturers,

It’s bad enough women’s clothes often have teeny tiny, or even non-existent, pockets. But must you taunt us with fake pockets??? The working zipper is salt in a wound.

Sincerely,
Desperately in Need of Pockets
