Fabulous!! Also look for words like,- - may, possible, could, or might - - , as ones that want to push an opinion or narrative on others, that do not have peer-reviewed facts behind them. Also, if those studies are based on studies done on rodents. Often those studies expose rodents to the extreme conditions, or extreme misuse of a product, that No human being would do to themselves, at least not repeatedly. Rodents are not human beings. Science is an ever-learning process, it takes time, and there needs to be controlled groups and non-controlled groups. Science-based studies must also factor in real-life scenarios. Plus if a study is not peer-reviewed, it's someone or some organization trying to push a narrative, based on personal agendas to control someone else's life. I came across your videos by accident, but glad I did. Bravo!! Take a bow, young man. 👏👏👏👏👏

Benford's law is also really useful. It proves that in base ten, lower digits like 1or2 are more likely than higher digits like 8or9 to be the first digit of a number

How does a source become creditable?

Check out the tips in the video -- if it's a peer-reviewed journal (meaning other scientists review the research before it gets published), then it's legit. Also, look at the person writing the article. If they are selling a product that's being talked about in the article, there is a conflict of interest. Also, good science reporters talk to other scientists who weren't involved in the research featured in the piece -- but who are still experts in the same subject area.

i would LOVE to see your channel pick up guys. Keep at it - good things await you! peace

What's the difference between "fake news" and misleading headlines?

@AboveTheNoise

7 жыл бұрын

"Fake news" generally refers to stuff that's not based on any facts-- it's just flat out false, wrong, or based on a lie. Misleading headlines are usually more like sensationalized clickbait designed to pique your interest and get you to click. They're often more exaggerated versions of the truth, and can give readers false hope. Like if you see "Breakthrough treatment cures diabetes" and the article is really about some study involving diabetic mice-- the article isn't "fake," but the headline is way misleading.

Do not assume that journals will publish. If the article shows evidence in contradiction to current health advice they are very unlikely to publish or will delay the publication. Peer review does not seem to discriminate between reasonable conclusions made from the evidence of a study. Authors often claim more than is reasonable from their study.

this channel is so underrated

I agree, but cheese is sticky and the message behind this video is worth adhering to. If just one person remembers this video before they share some drivel on Instafacesnaper then it has improved our world. (p.s. "rule of thumb". The "role of thumb" is to thumbs-down Daily Mail articles.)

This is fantastic! Can't wait for the next episode. I'll share this with other science educators. Here's a link to another website about evaluating claims in science news. The title says it all: www.askforevidence.org/index

wcdeich4 hey thanks for watching! Here's a link to the list: science.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2013/10/03/342.6154.60.DC1. You can find this link and more resources in the description-- kinda toward the end.

It's ok to have long titles if it means truth is better served. It's ok to have nothing to report on for the day if it means truth is better served. It's ok to not have a interesting story to tell to friends and family if it means truth is better served

Not all academic journals are accessible for the common person!1!! Great video regardless, I live off of clickbait article titles. (Yellow colored foods DO bring happiness-- bananas are delicious)

@AboveTheNoise

7 жыл бұрын

Good point that many academic journals are kind of a tough read, and maybe not that engaging. That's the big challenge for journalists covering science -- they have to find a way to make research become a good story, and break down complicated ideas in a way that most people can relate to. Not an easy task!

yep yep yep - I used to help my friends with their crazy sources by telling them this ONE SIMPLE TRICK (mwa ha ha!): just scroll through any website making a claim and see if they are selling something related to their claim. If so, ask yourself - are they giving you info, or is it just an imaginative ad campaign?

Yep, you're right. Peer-reviewed journals are usually aimed at other scientists, but there's lots of good science reporting out there for the general audience too. A lot of times science news articles will translate that scientific speak into stuff non-scientists can understand. So when you're reading a science news source and trying to figure out if it's credible ask yourself where is the information in the article coming from? Is it based on research published in a well-respected peer reviewed journal, or is it coming from an organization or person with an agenda? Who are the scientists quoted in the article? Does the article ask scientists who were not involved with the research what they think about it? Are the scientists interviewed qualified to talk about the subject matter? Do they work at research institutes, universities, think tanks, pharmaceutical companies? Keeping these questions in mind can help you decide if the article you are reading is credible.

There's a dude who has been reporting on science for decades. He's really, really good at it and explains how it's done. Potholer54, he has a YT account and has produced some excellent stuff, debunking tons of pseudoscientific claims.

Vegan tells me whole grains are easier to digest than meat. Hint, cows have three stomachs for a reason. Don't get me wrong, going vegan is a hard life choice that definitely can promote other good health choices, and keeping veggies in your diet is important. But we have to be honest about our facts, or the consequences can hurt us and others in the end.

I'm glad this wasn't click bait

Common sense also helps.

Love the video, but I've got a small bit of (constructive) criticism. The way you used GLAD really isn't an acronym. Using the first letter of a sentence doesn't work quite the same way. You should be able to understand the point with just the word that the letter stands for. Try this: B - Believable? _How outlandish is the title?_ O - Overlook. _Are there crazy claims made in the article?_ O - Outside opinions. _Are there other credible sources that back this up?_ B - Backup. _How are they backing up their claims? What sources are they using?_ S - Satisfy. _Satisfy your own rational reason. Does it stand up to your own critical thinking?_ Just trying to help! Love the channel so far!
