www.ValidScience.com

This web site offers a brief description of scientific studies for the non-technical person and helps identify common errors involving assumptions and statistics, including bias and invalid conclusions. It is hoped that the reader - both those who produce and observe the news - will view the next headline with some skepticism until the nature and extent of any risk it may represent are determined with some certainty. An inappropriate reaction to the headline may end up creating more risk than the subject of the initial report. In addition, even if there is some risk, the funds spent to address that risk might well be better spent dealing with a more serious problem that hasn't had recent publicity."
