Solved: Discussion: Scientific Studies & the Media

0 Comments

For this week’s discussion, you should read/watch all the available materials in the module about science and how it’s reported. There is much to talk about, so I want to leave this discussion fairly open for you. You can talk about specific materials if you’d like, or you can talk about the concepts we’re working with this week, or both. Definitely be sure to provide a robust primary post and thoughtful, substantial responses.

Some potential talking points: Which of the materials was most interesting or surprising to you? What are your thoughts on good vs bad science? How does the media sometimes misrepresent scientific studies? What are your thoughts about the language that science uses regarding its findings?
