RE: Do You Believe in Science? 🔭

Yeah and there are a heap of cases where research has been poorly done yet is accepted as truth. There's one, for eg, about how women who adopt a power pose can have higher levels of testosterone and be more successful - this has been going for years and people believe it, but they redid the studies and there was no correlation at all. SOOOO many egs like that - yet once these ideas are in the popular consciousness (vaccines cause autism) they become runaway trains, even if people find out they are dubious/untrue - the myth making becomes very pervasive.
