Scientists are people too

The scientific method is wondrous
It is still carried out by humans
Scientists may say they are objective
but they are not impervious to corruption.

The great thing about the scientific method is one's ability to test the studies
and retest and review.

Scientific research isn't free. Someone has to pay for it. That someone may control the outcome of a study

Lack of funding affects research too. Cutting corners does not make for good science.


The best thing is to purposely find contradictory studies and decide for yourself
That takes a standard education in the scientific method
But, it's not that hard to see mistakes. Then thing about science is, that stuff tends to pop out at you.

Don't believe anything, test everything.
