"Glyphosate has been rigorously tested in more than 2,000 studies, including the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s large Agricultural Health Study, and has been used by farmers and home gardeners for more than 50 years." https://t.co/uHK4D9kTqt

President Trump warned pregnant women that using acetaminophen will cause their children to develop autism. A new BMJ letter and a recent systematic review (supported by the Center for Truth in Science) show Trump was relying upon Fool's Gold Standard science.
For causal factors, probability of causation can help estimate the quantitative impacts on health risks of reducing exposures, even where there is incomplete mechanistic evidence and uncertain knowledge of individual-level exposure-response.

At a time when public trust in science has plummeted—with a majority of STEM researchers acknowledging a reproducibility crisis—the recent EO addresses critical needs at the intersection of science, justice, and the economy.

We’ve spent years documenting how the intersection of flawed #science and the judicial system creates economic havoc.
The recent EO could be a step toward improving how science is done—but only with rigorous implementation and commitment to principles: https://t.co/6xnQk9fAd3
We need more critical thinking. At the @truthsciencectr (Center for Truth in Science) we are mission driven to raise the scientific, data, and statistical literacy of judges, attorneys, and the public so we can prevent pseudoscience from driving decisions in the courtroom, at government agencies, our Legislatures and Congress.

Heard of interventional probability of causation #research methods? 🧠
This approach differentiates between likely/unlikely causal factors and can provide upper bounds for some exposures and diseases. What this means for our work at the intersection: https://t.co/HSkxTpyeQ9
With salutary reform of expert witness testimony, the days of “easy admissibility” for dodgy testimony should be in the dustbin of legal history. The situation in many state courts is less sanguine.

U.S. and global regulators have consistently concluded that #glyphosate is safe for humans and the #environment 🌎, but there has been focus of concern regarding a possible 🔗 between glyphosate exposure and #cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: https://t.co/iqBK9LRN7M
The CDC found that “more research is needed to assess human health effects of exposure to #PFAS,” yet, since 2017, more than $2.45B has been paid through mass #litigation settlements based on inconclusive science.

Finding #truthinscience demands an integrated approach that respects methodology, #legal fairness, and #economic realities—precisely the perspective that we bring to the #acetaminophen 💊 debate and similar challenges at the intersection: https://t.co/47VNVQFL0E
FAQ: What core issues does #truthinscience focus on?
Our focus is on issues at the intersection of #science, #justice, and the #economy, esp. the arenas in which untested and unproven scientific claims are being used in lawsuits or regulatory initiatives: https://t.co/GromXpckgy
Rigorous, timely #science is the most cost-effective way to protect both wallets 💸 and #publichealth. The #acetaminophen 💊 controversy demonstrates how scientific rigor can ultimately save billions while preserving access to important meds: https://t.co/s20k0XsdvR
