@CaulfieldTim sure! But it's 1 am. here -good night
@CaulfieldTim sounds good. But the problems mostly lie with academics. Self-inflicted wounds
@CaulfieldTim Trudeau looks great. Can we have him please?
@CaulfieldTim Here is an early example www.dcscience.net/2007/12/05/w… and recent ones www.dcscience.net/2014/11/02/t…

@CaulfieldTim no, it isn't fair to blame reporting. They hypsecomes from jml and university PR people, endorsed by authors
Exactly. Bur publishers make cash publishing junk, and senior academics push you to publish every 10 min. Disaster twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/statu…
@CaulfieldTim harms science because every time the latest diet/exercise advice appears in the media, people just jeer (often rightly)
@CaulfieldTim do you think there's a case for stopping obs epidemiology? It so often gives wrong answer, harms people & harms science
How does such dubious junk science get published. I often wonder twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/statu…
If there was ever a case for reverse causality, that's it twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/statu…
Hype in university press releases.
One reason for bad science reporting is that journalists rely too much on press releases from university ‘media departments’. Their output often seems more akin to advertising than to science.
A recent example came from a poor report in the Independent that seemed designed to fuel “electrosmog” hysteria. But the press release from Imperial College was almost as bad. The details are on IMPROBABLE SCIENCE blog.
