TED Tuesday: Battling Bad Science

For whatever reason, bad science has been on my radar recently. Last week I posted a link to an illustrated guide to the red flags of quackery, and this afternoon as I was subjected to an episode of Dr. Oz in the waiting room of a Jiffy Lube. So it only seemed appropriate that I keep the theme going with my selection for TED Tuesday. It's a frenetic talk on spotting the warning signs of bad science from an epidemiologist. Enjoy.
