    Health Nerd Retweeted Carl T. Bergstrom

    Every evidence-based science course should have at least one truly woeful paper for students to dissect. It's fun and incredibly informative!https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1383531276540411908 …

    "The real world is full of bullshit. So don't just show students examples of things done right and teach them to replicate them. Show them examples of things done wrong, and teach them to see the problems."

        Another fun activity is to get students to look for a bad study themselves then explain why it's deficient. Takes a lot more time tho

        Our MPH epi class did a full takedown of the Wakefield paper - super fun, and everyone gawked at how bad it was. Also our implementation/M&E class brought in speakers to talk about "we went here and did a thing - failed hard, here's our lessons learned..."

        We always have at least one really terrible paper in the systematic review training I deliver. Participants love it.

        I had my stats students dissect Gautret's atrocious hydroxychloroquine paper last spring. They learned so much how to detect bullshit. It was glorious! (Happy to share my lecture notes if anyone wants to use it.)

        I remember going over a paper in a lab class and the incredible joy and excitement that I felt when I realized that the authors weren’t even really invested in the research, but in fact were just doing it as a proof of concept for their companies newest sequencing technology

        Psych Honours @latrobe 1987. Never forget the main perpetrator of our target paper. @Raeleen08 may remember that, also.

        Better yet, makes it not truly woeful, like most flawed science.
