@HughMMitchell Hugh, I would highly recommend @CaulfieldTim 's new Book the Certainty Illusion where I learned my new favourite term #Scienceploitation https://t.co/SyCltV2oOc
Assoc. Prof @TylerJWenzel ponders #scienceploitation on #LinkedIn and tackles it head-on with his commentary on a study proposing the use of IGF1 nanoparticles to treat fetal growth restriction. How did he do @CaulfieldTim? https://t.co/0I6WYXVomG
Así manipulan la ciencia para venderte productos de salud fraudulentos https://t.co/8qHo0M2zOP
Marketers are cashing in on scientific language to sell #health products, a trend known as "#scienceploitation".

Microbiome, stem cells, nano, genomics, and, of course, QUANTUM!!!
Science-y terms often used to market nonsense.
Really enjoyed this chat with @chelseabird3 on @630CHED about the problem of #scienceploitation!

Scienceploitation:
Using scientific language to explain pseudoscientific ideas; inaccurate usage of popular scientific ideas to induce consumer interest in products; inaccurate simplification of science (especially by media)
#PsychWord #PsychWordOfTheDay #Scienceploitation
@NBTiller @EdzardErnst @SkeptInquirer @Thinkingpowers @compandalt Talk about this in my forthcoming book! Classic #scienceploitation!
Sum: saying "quantum physics!" doesn't make bunk less bunk-y.
It's #scienceploitation: "stealing and distorting concepts from science in order to produce fake scientific foundations to absurd claims."

Follow the science? Consumers aren’t always impressed with scientifically developed products, study https://t.co/J1eomDItPO ht @SMCCanada
"...occurs is because people stereotype the scientific process as being competent but cold..."
Key caveat to our #scienceploitation work!
Does the use of stem cell-related language in the marketing for some cosmetic products border on #scienceploitation? Read about it in the latest post on Signals blog ➡️ https://t.co/CGJ1ZbI5MG #scicomm #sciencecommunication
Billionaires Bankroll Cell Rejuvenation Tech as the Latest Gambit to Slow Aging https://t.co/8gztqZ2IJ1 via @sciam cc @pknoepfler #BiotechPolicy2022
"Hurdles remain"? Um, a wee bit of an understatement.
Decades of hype around "rejuvenation" therapies. #Scienceploitation.
Incredible how fast microbiome research – which is genuinely exciting but still early days – has been exploited to sell bunk.
OF COURSE, anti-aging industry in on the game. #Scienceploitation noise everywhere.
Reality: little good evidence supports any of this stuff. Ignore.
Misinformation on stem cell treatments for COVID-19 linked to overhyped science https://t.co/7sR3woAHV2
Agree with my colleagues, @LeighGTurner @AaronLevine_, et al. The language of hyped research can facilitate the marketing of unproven bunk.
#Scienceploitation.
@jonathanstea @RyanMarino @RuthAnnHarpur @doritmi @Thinkingpowers @DrLindaMD @EdzardErnst @ArtKorenevsky "Beneficial cellular events"?? WTF? Quack, quack.
And a great example of #scienceploitation. So many science-y words!
"Naturopath banned from selling pills, enemas made from feces" https://t.co/OdkjBojikf by @bethanylindsay cc @BernieGarrett @AgainstCures
No surprise #naturopaths leveraging #microbiome hype to (literally) sell crap.
#Scienceploitation common #naturopath marketing strategy.
#Cats + #MicrobiomeHype = #Scienceploitation noise!
"This LA company has a 'microbiome' test for your cat's teeth. Does it work?" https://t.co/lQag6tpXtd by @Davidlaz cc @TurveyLab
"Not one [expert] said they were convinced the product was worth the money."
#Meow
Anyone know if @CaulfieldTim & @jonathanstea, have clarified the peer reviewed study in The Lancet which found a less than 1.4% waxsine efficacy across the 4 products?
Relative Risk reduction was reported rather than Absolute Risk?

"Relative risk versus absolute risk: one cannot be interpreted without the other" https://t.co/iT5MccSe0w #scicomm
Good advice for popular press too!
"So in the end what is the best stem cell face cream? I would say there is none."
"Fact-checking stem cell face cream" https://t.co/QdeiXNIBAB by @pknoepfler
stem cell part = "marketing gimmick."
Great example of #scienceploitation. Using science-y to sell bunk.
"California Prop 14 may change lives of sick kids, keep taxpayer funding of stem cell therapy research" https://t.co/TRSobIm804 By @kweintraub via @usatoday
"There are many clinics throughout the world that continue to market unproven stem cell therapies."
#Scienceploitation
Clinics pushing unproven therapies often use "tokens of legitimacy", including:
- publishing "studies" in bogus journals
- using science-y lang
- registering a "clinical trial"
- links (real or not) with universities
