The PowerPoint presentation that I gave at the Skeptic’s Toolbox workshop at the University of Oregon on August 7, 2009 is up on their website with the complete text of what I said. The theme of the workshop was scientific method. The title of my talk is “Tooth Fairy Science and Other Pitfalls: Applying Rigorous Science to Messy Medicine.” Click here for the link. It covers a lot of things that are pertinent to the subjects we discuss on this blog, and I thought some of our readers might enjoy it. I put in a lot of information and some good cartoons. Note: this was a talk to the general public, not an academic presentation, and it does not include citations or references.
