GT and the Quest to Unravel Science's Most Perplexing Myths

In Moderation

Ever find yourself scratching your head at scientific headlines that sound more like science fiction than fact? GT from Bear Bait official joins us on a rollicking ride through the landscape of scientific research, ready to arm you with the tools to separate the wheat from the chaff. Bear with us (pun intended) as we tackle sensationalized science and chat about everything from inherited memories in mice to the pitfalls of diet fads.
Hold onto your headphones as we cut through the jargon and lay bare the hierarchy of evidence in scientific studies. We're not just talking about reading beyond the abstracts; we're getting into the meat of clinical trials, debunking gut microbiome myths, and questioning the cleanliness craze of detoxes. And yes, we even ponder the gustatory merits of munching on a raw appendix, all while keeping a critical eye on the role of social media and financial incentives in shaping what we believe about our health.
To wrap it all up, I'll share a tale that's part cautionary, part comical: a bear encounter on a hike that goes hilariously awry. It's a reminder that whether you're facing down a furry beast in the wild or navigating the wilderness of dubious scientific claims, staying composed and well-informed is your best defense. Join us for a lighthearted yet enlightening expedition into the world of science with our trailblazing guest, GT.
