Bad Science

There's a regular and excellent column in The Guardian by Ben Goldacre called Bad Science, which shows how poor mainstream media is at reporting science, how they simplify results to the point of idiocy for the sake of a headline. Mind you some of the science referred to is questionable too! Goldacre recently pointed out the flaws in the reporting of research that indicated the evolutionary basis of why blue is associated with boys, pink with girls.

Well worth a regular read.
