Nice to hear it’s not just me……
06 Mar 2012

Although it has been a few years since I actually stepped foot in a lab to perform an actual, real-life experiment I still consider myself a scientist (and always will).

It is therefore incredibly frustrating when I see how some scientific news stories are reported in the media. It seems that barely a day goes by without certain British newspapers running a story about what everyday food/activity/electronic item* (*delete as appropriate) causes cancer. Having said that, I often wonder if my frustration is yet another sign that I am becoming a grumpy old man.

This excellent blog post from Martin Robbins at The Guardian makes me feel a whole lot better about myself and really highlights why scientific reporting in the media should be taken with a healthy dose of salt.

I would really like to hear your thoughts and experiences with how science is reported in the media.
