About this listen

 Most people consume scientific research through headlines—but those headlines often distort study design, exaggerate results, and hide critical limitations like small sample sizes, animal models, and surrogate markers. In this episode, we break down the most common ways research is misrepresented in the media, including the misuse of relative risk, correlation vs. causation errors, and misleading health claims. Learn how to evaluate studies like a professional and develop the critical thinking skills needed to separate evidence-based science from media spin.
