Cosmetic scientist, science communicator & podcaster. Find my podcast at The Eco Well Podcast.
I was thrilled to join @theecowell.bsky.social and @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social for this podcast. Is there a war on science? Yes, and it’s coming from the top levels — but also misinformation takes things to an even worse level, making it hard to fact-check podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

New study shows radical-right populists are fueling a misinformation epidemic www.zmescience.com/science/news...
Yep, #misinformation a political strategy.
From study: "...we find that radical-right populism is the
strongest determinant for the propensity to spread misinformation."
Disclaimer, just because science has these structural issues doesn’t mean it’s not a huge value to society. Science is the best tool we have to understand the world around us. But when we read the science, critical appraisal is absolutely fundamental.

If you’ve listened to the Environmental Working Group, you’d know that parabens are toxic. But then you should wonder why you’re listening to the Environmental Working Group.

This Wednesday I talk to the awesome @theecowell.bsky.social about how EWG manipulates public understanding by cherrypicking studies (hello parabens!), natural vs synthetic cosmetic ingredients, sunscreen myths, how cosmetics are formulated, and much more.

The EWG’s post election message has been really bothering me since it came out. Finally got around to a response… a short story about accountability.

To quote Dr. Steven Novella, if you're willing to dismiss scientific consensus on one topic, why not all of them? Especially when you have "alternative" experts to support your alternative beliefs?

Like a magnet, the belief in one type of conspiracy or pseudoscience tends to attract the belief in others, “crank magnetism” coined by Dr Mark Hoofnagle.

The discourse online over the past few weeks has been the opening. A friendly reminder that critical thinking also involves being critical of your own thinking. Bias is just a human trait that we all have to deal with.
