As a statistician, truly understanding odds ratios is a lonely club honestly I really wish we had better scientific literacy as a country

I always bring it back to drinking, if your happy to have a pint you probs don’t need to be worried about stuff like this as it’s almost certainly going to be negligible in comparison to

I always had to discuss this during childbirth education classes. Saying things like “it more than doubles your risk” without the context of what the risk actually is, is not informed consent. Understanding should be more highly prioritized than repeating facts.

statistics is such an important thing that is unfortunately misunderstood and even worse misrepresented by some who do understand it. In my opinion we should be teaching it far more, and i’d go so far as to say we should forgo teaching calculus in favor of statistics if we can only choose 1

Also, “lead found in baby formula.” Like ok, but how much? Analytical chemists are amazingly good at what they do.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but when you say the interview is on “Hank’s channel”… do you mean your YouTube channel?

The effect is lower than the very real and much higher risk of food poisoning.

I tried to explain this to my RD who was upset at my nightly snack of turkey and cheese. I don’t drink or smoke and I eat ample fiber. I exercise. I like meat and cheese so I’m having it.

The outlets that post articles about these studies only care about traffic and ad revenue. The more impressive the findings sound, the more revenue. Too bad the majority of people who read them have no idea what the results actually mean in practice.

As a public health professional thank you for doing the things we have struggled to do! You and John and your teams inspire me as a public health communicator and give me hope for the future :)

Assessing risk has always been a challenge for me, because, much like your brother John, my body seems to be uniquely unsuited for its environment. As a young reader it made me really mad to discover that choose-your-own-adventure stories always punish the cautious choice. This video has me considering a new scale/perspective to assess individual risks.

I mean yeah but if we wanted to fix education as a whole from a young age we could. it would involve School year-round and it would involve meals both breakfast and lunch and it would involve a classroom graded rubric or everybody works and gets advanced on classrooms not individual grades because it incentivizes the students to help each other get better as well as the teachers to make them better and they would advance faster and then be able to go to advanced learning earlier like college or university around the ages of 16 and then when they enter adulthood they already have building blocks of their future. Also extracurriculars make a large difference in overall happiness and preparedness for the world

Ur account popped up for me as “people you may know” and I forgot I do know you on a personal level because you did in fact teach me everything I know.

Even highly educated experts fail to effectively communicate this. Just this past Friday Science Friday on NPR had a segment on foods and a guest stated that processed meats are class 1 carcinogens, like smoking and alcohol, and left it at that. I feel, while it's a true statement, the communication was disingenuous.
