Watch the ne ws, and it's easy to be overwhelmed by snippets of badly presented science: info rmation that's incomplete, confusing, contradictory, out-of-context, wrong, or f lat-out dishonest. In this book, Dr. Sherry Seethaler provides a bag of tricks f or making sense of science in the news. You'll learn how to think more sensibly about everything from mad cow disease to global warming and make better science- related decisions in both your personal life and as a citizen. You'll begin by u nderstanding how science really works and progresses, and why scientists sometim es disagree. Seethaler helps you assess the possible biases of those who make sc ientific claims in the media, and place scientific issues in appropriate context , so you can intelligently assess tradeoffs.
