So many people are manipulating the science on trans kids to fit their political agenda and personal motivations. But what happens when you just look at the research?

I don’t understand why people who are coughing with a cold/flu/Covid don’t wear masks in public places indoors. Why not just do it? Take care of the people around you.

If politicians want what's best for America - they should look at the best science. And when it comes to
#Immigration
the best science says that overall immigrants help the economy and don't affect crime. For details listen here

My best argument why in a hetero couple the toilet seat should be left down.
Say we pee and poo in a ratio of 3:1
Given that men and women both poo sitting down. At any one moment the toilet is being used there is a 5/8 (>60%) chance that someone will be sitting down.

Something I’m hearing from several people who had breakthrough infections is that it started with this little tickle in the back of their throat - that they didn’t think much about. LISTEN TO THE TICKLE. If it’s omicron you could be infectious during that time.

Have fun.
@wendyzuk
just listened to your piece on vaping, so it causes various cancers, copd etc etc, where did this study come from?
i much prefer to rely on studies from gold standard orgs like RCPUK and COCHRANE as they dont make stuff up,
shame on you

*not true. But if you’re worried about myocarditis, fertility issues or other things Robert Malone talks about - please listen to our latest Science Vs Ep. You might have a giggle too.

For years, as a science journalist, every time a terrible bushfire or flood swept through a place - we had this standard line “Climate change increases the risk of these events, but we can’t say this was caused by climate change.” That has changed. Causation can be shown.
A study in
@NatureClimate
finds that the scientific evidence used in climate change legal cases is lagging behind state-of-the-art climate science, but using up-to-date methodologies could improve causation claims.

Can’t stop giggling about this. An American actor nails an Aussie accent — it’s such a shock. That someone finally did it. He makes national news.

What’s the worst work advice anyone ever gave you? I can go first.
1) My voice is too low - try speak “higher”
2) If I keep reporting on the science of sex, no one will take me seriously as a science journalist.

This is like saying "A scientist finds even more evidence for legs".
Legs exist. Climate change exists. It's not about finding "even more" evidence for it.
An astrophysicist finds even more evidence for climate change on Earth — in outer space

When someone says “I just don’t trust the Covid vaccines because X, Y, Z. I want to do the research myself.” I’m like… OK, but go and do it. Read the papers yourself.

Ah! When logical and science backed ideas said by… a woman 😱😱… are called a temper tantrum. But the anti-science rantings of a man are given so much leeway. David. You’re breaking ground here.
@wendyzuk
I was looking forward to this episode, but I was extremely disappointed with the amount of bias and unprofessionalism in this episode, and the temper tantrum response at the end trying to censor other viewpoints. Unsubscribed after years of listening.. Sad.
