At what point does our responsibility to ensure action is taken based on what is known, usurp our puritanical loyalty to the way of knowing? in reply to ZaneSelvans 16:46:54, 2017-02-18

But somehow when it comes to communicating life saving/threatening results to folks who understand science in a different way we often fail. in reply to ZaneSelvans 16:41:43, 2017-02-18
Duh, scientists are people too, with the same foibles and biases as anyone, and also a huge toolkit for working around those imperfections. in reply to ZaneSelvans 16:38:28, 2017-02-18
Why is it so hard to use science to convince scientists that other people don’t understand science like scientists? Or maybe they do. in reply to ZaneSelvans 16:32:34, 2017-02-18
