One of the good things, when it comes to #EMF research, of the #Frontiers publication method, is that it is clear to see that this kind of stuff, riddled with erros and bias, can be published by selecting the right reviewers.
This is an editorial error.

Quite shocking that the below linked article on #EMF/#RF ( #mobilephones) got through peer-review when it's first 2 sentences (screengrab below), which are both opinions from a specific group of activists, are presented as facts.
Fearmongering is clearly a beneficial passtime...

New, entirely predictable results on brain #cancer risks from mobile phones in humans (US data).
In agreement will conclusions from most scientists and all national and international expert committees.
....but obviously not with activists.

It seems #AI #LLM provide a much more accurate summary about #ICNIRP and its interpretation of #nonthermal health effects from non-ionising #radiation ( #EMF), than the caricaturesque approach of MWN, ICBE-EMF, ORSAA, and parrots who also didn't bother to look at details...

I did a webinar about (introduction to) #epidemiology #methods, particularly in relation to electromagnetic radiation ( #EMF / #ELF / #RF). At the start of the webinar, I asked participants how much they valued different types of #evidence.
Particularly the variability in appraisal is interesting.

I presented at the '#Occupational & #Environmental #Health #seminar series' of #UniToronto:
" #5G: knowns, unknowns, known-unknowns, and myths"
I asked (prior to presenting data):
"Which #healtheffects do you think are associated with #mobilephone use?"
So what was the 'wisdom of the crowd'?

This, kids, is an academic peer-reviewed journal. A real one.....on paper. Not a pdf.
I just received a journal...on paper....and I shall read it.
