Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
The following program contains scientific stories about recent research performed by actual scientists, and then published for public review.
None of the stories are based on “doing my own research”
or “A friend of a friend told me”
or “I read somewhere”
or the U.S. Department of “Health and Human Services” says
Instead, we bring you a slightly curated selection of authenticated works in science
Generated by working scientists
Using scientific methods based on the scientific method
If for any reason you find the findings of any particular research not to your liking
Remember that you are but one of billions
of biologically bipedal beings bopping about on a planet
Orbiting a nuclear fireball for a very limited span of time
And certainly you can spend this opportunity of being alive
Concerning yourself with something more noble than science denial
Unless you really can do your own research in which case
Challenge those results!
Design an experiment and put it to the test
And maybe we’ll talk about it here on
