New study on fluoride exposure and IQ may require current public health policies to re-evaluate the practice of adding fluoride to the water supply. Has water fluoridation finally met its match? See what it all means during my new LIVE stream tomorrow! (link below) Saturday 2/1 1PM PT (4PM ET)

Kicking off my first live stream on Fluoride, which has recently sparked controversy in the US over its safety in the water supply. The views are divided & tough to navigate. In this stream, I'm going to provide answers using the current scientific research of how fluoride can affect your health.

This is a great article citing the frustrations faced by legitimate scientists when presenting their work to an online audience. Popular science is flooded with algo-optimized terms, misrepresented graphic images, and science factoids bereft of relevant significance or context. Worth a read👇#SciComm

🧪Is this the slam-dunk study claiming negative correlation between IQ and fluoride concentration in water? There's a lot of wrong to unpack here (comments below), but if I'm missing something (on either side of the argument), please let me know. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Effect of fluoridated water on intelligence in 10-12-year-old school children

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of drinking water fluoride levels with children's intelligence quotient (IQ). Water was collected from initially identified endemic fluori...

Trust in Scientists 🧪 Public confidence in scientists edged up slightly in 2024, according to a recent Pew Research Study, but still remains 10 percentage points below pre-pandemic levels. The confidence rise is split along party lines (88% vs. 66%), but notable that Republicans edged 5% higher YoY.

2024 Pew Research Study on public trust in scientists. The data suggests a rise of 3 percentage points YoY.

I’ve got to admit. I’m running about 50 mm Hg lower over here than over on X. Would really love to get to know more of you and build a larger network! Please introduce yourself.

Recently released a video on atomic physics⚛️ and which parts of the atom were exploited in developing the nuclear bomb☢️. I believe these topics have become increasing relevant in today's society. Enjoy and consider sharing with others youtu.be/BQSNmOutvVY?... #iteachphysics #STEM
