The Infectious Myth - 02/25/14

In his initial episode of "The Infectious Myth" David talked about scientific uncertainty, including uncertainty over the meaning of "Scientist" and the "Scientific Method", sprinkled with real examples from medical and non-medical science. He touched on his experiences as a young member of "Team Science" and how he learned how to deal with the fuzzy concepts that are common in the biological sciences (and even in the hardest sciences), and how this bred a skepticism about the over-certainty with which medical products are advertised to doctors and consumers.
