Research tips from SYSK

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive deep into the murky world of scientific research problems and how to spot bogus studies. They explore everything from studies that can't be reproduced to predatory publishers charging scientists thousands to publish their work, and they explain why the media's sensationalized reporting of science findings can mislead the public. Along the way, they discuss real examples of research fraud, funding bias in climate change denial, and why so many studies only use college students as subjects instead of diverse populations around the world. It's a fascinating look at how the science we read about in headlines might not be as solid as we think.
