#25 Hvad betyder videnskab, og hvordan lærer man at være kritisk?

You can find information about almost anything these days, but how do you learn to filter all that information? How can some experts say it's good to exercise or eat a certain way, when other experts say the exact opposite?

In today's episode, we review scientific principles to better equip you to be critical in a healthy way, so you learn to distinguish between hoaxes and facts. Because what is science really, and why is it so difficult?

With a solid foundation as a doctor and PhD, Thien explains the principles on which scientific studies are built, and he puts Mathias to the test with various tests to see if Mathias can identify the pitfalls in research.

Finally, we address some of the controversial topics today and discuss the pros and cons of the evidence behind the topics in question.
