Description
Science has gone viral! In more ways than one. Bestselling popular science author Dr. Joe Schwarcz breaks down the science of essential oils, placenta creams, intermittent fasting, and of course the spread of COVID-19 misinformation, in this new collection from the master of demarcating non-science from science.
Since we first heard rumblings about a novel type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, terms like pandemic, spike protein, viral particles, variants, mRNA vaccines, antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, social distancing, immune response, convalescent plasma, aerosol transmission, and of course, face coverings, have entered our everyday vocabulary.
The scientific literature has exploded with studies exploring every facet of COVID-19, but unfortunately the 'viral' spread of misinformation about the pandemic has also reached epic proportions.
