In this week's video, I discuss seven ways that science can be misrepresented in advertising.
Some shoots go smoothly, this was not one of them! 🙂 But I'm pretty happy with the final result.

Have you ever heard someone make a claim and say they don't need to provide evidence to support it? This is called shifting the burden of proof and it's the topic of this week's video!
