A personal reflection on the scientific method and the importance of critical thinking
I used to think I was crazy for exploring alternative approaches to health and wellness. People would always say “science says” this or that, as if science was the final word on everything. But science is done by people, and people can be influenced by money, career incentives, and other factors. I got my master’s in statistics and learned that the system isn’t always as clean as we’d like to think.
