First Post!

we'll see how this takes off, it is entirely possible I will have this fabulous idea and then let it fall by the wayside.

In any case, the reason for creating this blog is to hopefully educate some people about the basics that come with science as well as the topics we see most frequently covered in the media.  Typically I have noticed the mainstream media has a poor understanding of science in general and frequently gets its articles wrong. In order to help combat this, I will be covering things we are seeing in the news quite often alternative therapies, vaccines, medicines, drugs, mental illness, etc.

It is my hope that the more public understanding about these things the better we will be able to tell bad reporting from good or good studies from bad.
