Overwhelmingly, the fact that the scientific literature is full of mistakes is because science is hard rather than because of ill intent. One might, in response to this, seek to raise the bar for evidence but the more common response of cynicism is I think flawed

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

While the 'belief' plot draws attention, the core message of the final, deliberative consensus statements is that evidence linking smartphone and social media use to negative outcomes is limited, mixed, context-dependent, insufficient to support causal claims, and better research is needed.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

My parents died from incurable degenerative neurological disorders. Dad from Parkinson's and mom from ALS. One thing that kept me going after they died was the hope that there would one day be better, more affordable treatments. I've run races to raise money for that. This news is hard to see.

There’s a strain of person who would much rather believe that Americans aren’t doing anything to fight back than that they ARE fighting back and it hasn’t fixed things. And look, I get it. It’s the same drive that says if you don’t bounce back from an illness, you must have done something wrong.
