Curious about potential biological effects of #5G?

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

The glyphosate debate has been a disaster from the jump.
This isn't the first time Monsanto meddled with the research when they were supposed to be hands-off.
But the association with GMOs meant many people *really* wanted glyphosate to be bad, so there's lots of crap research on that side too.

The entire glyphosate (Roundup herbicide) saga is an appalling example of politicized science and motivated reasoning. Now key anti-Roundup papers AND key pro-Roundup papers have been retracted. Worse, I'd be willing to take odds that partisans of both sides will be completely unbothered by this.

...it also nicely outlines why most of the activists' criticism on these reviews is, well, just not very good or accurate.

..but to just stick to that study. There is abundant evidence that all such unblinded, self-reported, nimby studies are useless. To publish yet another one of these is just a contribution to research waste, not evidence.

if you read the criticisms of these reviews carefully, it will be clear these boils down to wanting to include low quality research (which is currently excluded), known to correlate to finding a risk.
Not the direction experts/professionals believe evidence synthesis should go.
