This algorithmic prioritisation, combined with human behaviours like confirmation bias (where we only engage with what we already believe), creates echo chambers where falsehoods flourish.

CW: Political "Science"

I just skimmed this article "10 #scientific #truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025"
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/10-scientific-truths-unpopular-2025/
and I'm thinking that just because someone says a fact is "political" doesn't make it false. I'm also thinking that lack of #scienceliteracy is killing us. 1/ -

Another reason why #scienceliteracy is so important: 'By grouping all animal proteins together, the study may have captured the protective effects of fish and certain dairy products rather than proving the safety of red meat.' https://www.sciencealert.com/meat-protects-against-cancer-suggests-controversial-study-heres-the-catch #foodstudies #meat

Someone said the Sun could not be billions of years old because it would have burned out. They promised "simple math." I did the math. It is still shining. ☀️ #astronomy #scienceLiteracy https://jameshoward.us/2025/07/22/no-the-sun-should-not-have-burned-out

A great example of what seems to be the ever worsening uphill battle for scientists, scientific skeptics, and folks just trying to appreciate the wonder of our natural (not supernatural) world. - Local free range sun? - https://youtu.be/bhkcLOSkTP0?si=iM-sFr6ksz0QUHTt #ScientificSkepticism #ScienceLiteracy #CriticalThinking #ScientificInquiry #SGU #SkepticsGuide #SkepticsGuideToTheUniverse

@nitpicking For the benefit of others, I posted a link from a reliable source about the carbon monoxide poisoning danger ⚠️ of space heaters. But if you live near a trailer park long enough you’ll hear about people dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. Kerosene is a commonly available fuel, but not the only one. https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/25208-deaths-linked-to-carbon-monoxide-from-heaters-and-generators-continue-to-climb-report

One of my many alma maters is running a FREE course on science literacy: learning how to differentiate between science, pseudoscience, fake science, and fraudulent science – and to explain what makes pseudoscience both attractive and dangerous.

@uint8_t @wonderofscience My point was that apparently #ScienceLiteracy is not a requirement to be a #NASA astronaut. 🤷🏻♂️
