Study: half of the studies you read about in the news are wrong
▻http://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/3/3/14792174/half-scientific-studies-news-are-wrongThe authors of the PLOS One paper assembled a huge database of studies in biomedical #science, follow-ups to those studies, and meta-studies on those follow-ups. And then they searched the Dow Jones Factiva newspaper database to see how often each type of study was covered.
They found that initial studies were around five times more likely to be reported on than follow-up studies. And meta-reviews were barely covered at all.
[...] Here’s why this is a problem. The PLOS One analysis paper found that only 48.7 percent of 156 studies reported by newspapers were confirmed by a subsequent meta-review. The percentage dropped to 34 when the researchers focused on initial studies only.

The epidemic of bomb threats against Jewish organizations, explained - Vox

▻https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/jcc-bomb-threats
Since Jan. 1, at least 91 locations of Jewish organizations in the United States — including schools, Jewish Community Centers, and offices of the Anti-Defamation League — have received a total of 116 bomb threats. The majority have come in five of what the JCC Association of North America calls “waves” — groups of robocalls coming on a single day. So far, none of the threats have been carried out.I’m a former neo-Nazi. Don’t ignore the threat of white extremism. - Vox

The psychiatrist who wrote the guide to personality disorders says diagnosing Trump is “bullshit”
▻http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/10/14551890/trump-mental-health-narcissistic-personalityThe American Psychiatric Association has a longstanding taboo on evaluating public figures from afar. It’s called the Goldwater Rule, named after an infamous magazine article in which politician Barry Goldwater’s psychological stability was assessed by thousands of psychiatrists. The rule forbids psychiatrists, who are medical doctors, from making judgments about a public figure’s mental health without personally evaluating them.
But the temptation to break it is always strong in presidential election years. The APA issued a warning to its members this past August, reminding them that “breaking the Goldwater Rule is irresponsible, potentially stigmatizing, and definitely unethical.” (Some in the psychiatric community believe the rule unproductively limits doctors’ free speech.)
Psychologists don’t have such a rule, and Frances — who supports the Goldwater Rule and generally thinks mental illnesses are overdiagnosed — worries that when the petitioners and others call Trump mentally ill, they stigmatize people with psychological problems. They can also distract from the more objective criticisms you can make of his presidency. “Call him a liar, call him evil, call him a threat to democracy, call him impulsive, call him ignorant — these labels are all absolutely true — but saying he has a mental disorder doesn’t really add force to the argument,” Frances says.

How the war on drugs has made drug traffickers more ruthless and efficient - Vox
▻http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/30/14346766/drug-war-failure-evolutionOne reason for the balloon effect is what experts call the “profit paradox.” One of the primary goals of the drug war is to make drugs more expensive by limiting their supply, the idea being that a drug habit is much more difficult to sustain if drugs are more expensive. But this also makes drugs immensely profitable: They still cost as little as pennies per dose to produce — drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and heroin are just plants or based on plants, after all — while the final street value has to account for the risk of shipping the drug through an international supply chain that can be broken by government authorities at any border. — (...)

How grassroots activists can use the Women’s March to build concrete political power. - Vox
▻http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/21/14345692/womens-march-grassroots-activists“What will they do after the march? How are we going to harness all of these people marching to actually change things?” says Becky Bond, co-author of a new book on organizing with Zack Exley called Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organizing Can Change Everything.
Bond adds, “We have step one: massive numbers of people raising their hands. The question is if there will be an organizing group that can take that and use it to change things, rather than have this be an expression of anger and discontent alone.”
Bond and Exley are veterans of the Bernie Sanders campaign, and helped build the volunteer juggernaut that defied the odds and almost defeated Hillary Clinton last summer. In the wake of Donald Trump’s win, they now say the work of mass organizing is more important than ever.

How the inventor of #Mario designs a game - Vox
▻http://www.vox.com/videos/2017/1/12/14249550/shigeru-miyamoto-mario-design#Shigeru_Miyamoto is a big name in gaming. Since he first designed Donkey Kong in 1981, he’s been called “the father of modern video games” — and for good reason.
Right after release, the North American video game market came close to collapse in the early 1980s. Console sales alone peaked at over $3 billion in 1983 before plummeting to around $100 million by 1985. Miyamoto’s subsequent games (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of #Zelda, Star Fox) are often credited with jumpstarting the industry in North America.
So how does he do it?

Why America’s roads are so much more dangerous than Europe’s
▻http://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/11/30/13784520/roads-deaths-increase-safety-traffic-usIn the US, in contrast [to the Netherlands], standard engineering practice calls for wide, straight streets in almost all situations. This approach prompts inappropriate speeds that we then try to correct after the fact with speed bumps, police speed traps, and a bunch of remedies that would not be needed if streets were designed appropriately in the first place.
What’s more, most communities built in the US over the past three generations have been sprawling, automobile-dependent, and disconnected. This has both increased the level of traffic within those communities and force-fed the bulk of that traffic onto the few arteries that connect one place to another. Some have taken to calling the worst of these byways “stroads” — street-road hybrids.

▻http://www.lequipe.fr/Boxe/Actualites/Atlantic-city-l-ambition-ruinee-de-donald-trump-dans-la-boxe/747556The New Jersey administration of Governor Chris Christie took control of Atlantic City on Wednesday, approving a five-year takeover plan to prevent the city from declaring bankruptcy.
The city’s elected officials, led by Republican Mayor Donald Guardian, had submitted their own plan to meet an end-of-October deadline, but the state’s Local Finance Board rejected it in voting for the state takeover.
The state board, established under the state’s dubiously named Municipal Stabilization and Recovery Act, will have the power to overrule the City Council, break union contracts, sell off assets, and hire and fire municipal workers.

How the sugar industry has distorted health science for more than 50 years
▻http://www.vox.com/2016/9/12/12864442/jama-sugar-industry-distort-science“[...] Is it really true that food companies deliberately set out to manipulate research in their favor? Yes, it is, and the practice continues.” Nestle has been documenting the instances where companies fund nutrition studies that overwhelmingly return favorable results to the industry sponsors.
“Our research emphasizes that industry-funded science needs to be heavily scrutinized, and not taken at face value,” said Kearns, the lead author on the JAMA paper. “There are so many ways a study can be manipulated — from the questions that are asked, from how the information is analyzed, even to how the conclusions are described in the paper.”
In this case, the sugar industry involvement in science influenced not only the scientific enterprise but also public-health policy, and potentially, the health of millions of people. Kearns points out that the most recent World Health Organization sugar guidelines focus on reducing consumption because of sugar’s role in obesity and tooth decay — not the heart risk.

How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-industry-shifted-blame-to-fat.htmlThe sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to play down the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show.
The internal sugar industry documents, recently discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that five decades of research into the role of nutrition and heart disease, including many of today’s dietary recommendations, may have been largely shaped by the sugar industry.
“They were able to derail the discussion about sugar for decades,” said Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine at U.C.S.F. and an author of the JAMA paper.
The documents show that a trade group called the Sugar Research Foundation, known today as the Sugar Association, paid three #Harvard scientists the equivalent of about $50,000 in today’s dollars to publish a 1967 review of research on sugar, fat and heart disease. The studies used in the review were handpicked by the sugar group, and the article, which was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, minimized the link between sugar and heart health and cast aspersions on the role of saturated fat.
Even though the influence-peddling revealed in the documents dates back nearly 50 years, more recent reports show that the food industry has continued to influence nutrition science.
