This is peak anti-vaping madness. 100k for a position dedicated to spreading misinformation about the world's most effective smoking cessation tool and tobacco substitute. What else could @UniMelb spend this money on? Teaching? Mental health services? seek.com.au/vaping-jobs/in…
I'm through Chapter 2 of @MatthewFacciani's #Misguided and it is REALLY good. Kind of a #ThePowerOfUs meets @davidmcraney's #HowMindsChange infused with @moniguzman's #INTOITw I Never Thought Of It That Way. Hit it!!

If you listen to medical researchers talk, you would think they greatly value replication studies. But if you look through the pages of leading medical journals, you will realize they don't.

The nicotine research community(ties) feels seen! Restoring #SharedTruths will not happen automatically.
An analysis of 25 years of U.S. policy documents reveals there’s very little overlap in the scientific studies that Democrats and Republicans cite in congressional committees and think tanks, deepening concerns over shared facts: journalistsresource.org/home/study-rev…

Political ideologies come in bundles because they articulate the interests of political coalitions. Therefore it is unlikely we are “right” on everything, so some humility when comparing our ideologies to others would not go amiss. 👌post by @page_eco: buff.ly/s0TaCCc
