“...statistics can be deployed badly, or in bad faith. The often complex-looking equations and symbols of statistics can be used to communicate quickly and succinctly between those with statistical training, and they can be used to confuse, befuddle, and bully into belief those without.”

“Hundreds of millions of tweets are posted daily, and hundreds of millions of people use social-media platforms. Like it or not, these platforms have become the de facto means by which most nonscientists receive and access information about scientific discoveries. Internet communication can even lead to positive outcomes. Use of the internet increases positive attitudes about science overall, and access to science blogs can help address knowledge gaps across social classes.”

“Rarely do issues have “two sides” of equal scientific merit that deserve equal representation. Credentials alone mean little. Those representing themselves as scientists or physicians may well have doctorates, but they may also be speaking well outside their areas of expertise. The story of the little guy going up against an evil corporation may make for a compelling (and well-worn) narrative, but often the little guy is working with bad science.”
