12 - About Credible Scientific Research

Dr Jessica Stokesparish is an ICU Nurse, an author, a clinical educator and now has a PhD in research. She joined me to talk all about how we can distinguish the difference between credible scientific research and misinformation. We chatted about what is involved in solid scientific and medical research, things to look out for, common areas of misinformation and the complex psychology behind why people hold onto their beliefs despite the research showing it to be false.
