4.06 - Bad Science

from Eighty Percent Mental Hosted by Dr Peter Olusoga

The commercialisation of wellness and wellbeing has led us to the point where everyone has basically gone fucking nuts. With so much crap on the internet, how can ordinary folk spot the snake oil? How can we be more skeptical about the information we’re presented with, and how can we be better scientists? In this episode, Dr Pete Olusoga and Dr Leah Washington talk to Dr Nick Tiller, exercise scientist at Harbor-UCLA, about Bad Science! Dr Tiller is the author of The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science, a columnist at Skeptical Inquirer magazine, and a Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. Follow Nick on Twitter: @NBTiller Check out Nick’s website: nbtiller.com, where you can buy his genuinely excellent book. And no, we’re not on commission!
