Science can’t explain it

Science is finding the truth.

A Physics joke (thanks Ted Kietzman) 🔬 An electron is speeding down the highway when a police officer pulls him over. The officer walks up to the car and asks, "do you know how fast you were going." The electron replies, "No, but I know where I am." Lital Asher - Dotan and I love science! Both of us come from the life sciences background (Biology and Medicine respectively). 👩🔬 We keep encountering people quoting scientific studies, without ever asking to see proof. Most of us assume that if a study was published in prestigious journals it means that they are true. That is far from the case! 💡 The whole idea of science is to question! 💡 You publish so people can review your conclusion and ask hard questions. 🚦 So, we decided to dedicate an episode of the Didi and Lital show to explaining how the mechanics of modern science works. If you listen to this one we will cover: 1. what is a hypothesis and the key to proving (doesn't happen) or disproving it (what you should be doing) 2. What does it mean to publish in a peer reviewed journal 3. How much does the sociology of science impact research (a lot). 4. Tune in to gain insight into the true essence of scientific studies. Let's challenge assumptions and ask the hard questions together! My references were : David Hume. A Treatise of Human Nature. Edited by L.A. Selby-Bigge, Oxford University Press, 1888.

Science is the only truth

Real Science

The more CO2 in the air, plants open more pores to take in more CO2, and because it’s carbon and plants are primarily made of carbon, you get bigger plants. Almost like a God designed the world or something to be self regulating…

🎙️ Exciting Podcast Update for NLP and AI Enthusiasts! I wanted to share a noteworthy update from a friend's podcast, "#NLP #highlights." They've recently expanded to a new video-based format, which is an excellent development for anyone interested in Natural Language Processing and AI. Their upcoming episode features Kyle Lo from the Allen Institute for AI, discussing the intriguing topic of "#Science of #Science." It promises to be an insightful session for those following the latest trends and research in the field.
