The Stickler’s Guide to Science in the Age of Misinformation: The Real Science Behind Hacky Headlines, Crappy Clickbait, and Suspect Sources - R. Philip Bouchard
Shared by:cryotag
Today we have more scientific information at our fingertips than ever before–and more disinformation too. Online, on television, and in print, science is often communicated through shorthand analogies and phrases that obscure or omit important facts. “Superfoods,” “right- and left-brained” people, and “global warming” may be snappy and ear-catching but are they backed by scientific facts? Lifelong educator R. Philip Bouchard is a stickler for this kind of thing, and he is well-prepared to set the record straight.
The Stickler’s Guide to Science in the Age of Misinformation unpacks the many misuses of terms we see used every day, revealing how these popular concepts fall short of real science. Find out why trees do not store carbon dioxide; a day is not actually 24 hours; DNA cannot provide a “blueprint” for a human being; and an absence of gravity is not the reason that astronauts float in space. Bouchard makes hard science go down easy, satisfying curiosity and sparking further inquiry that will keep you from getting fooled.

I hope the book has mentioned the disinformation behind NOT automatically prostrating yourself before the mighty cult of the cv quackcination and love the most lethal medical experiment in human history

I read a lot of quantum physics, relativity, black holes and other advanced science.
I had accepted some basic scientific premises without really understanding the hows and whys.
Bouchard does a great job of explaining some fundamental stuff and I learned some new stuff as well as lots of “ah, I get that now” moments. Recommend this to anyone into science.
