The Stickler’s Guide to Science in the Age of Misinformation:
The Real Science Behind Hacky Headlines, Crappy Clickbait,
and Suspect Sources
Sinopsis :
The perfect remedy for our culture of fake news, bad science,

fingertips today than ever before. And more disinformation too.

communicated through shorthand analogies and phrases that
obscure or omit important facts.

facts? Lifelong educator R. Philip Bouchard is a stickler for this

kind of thing, and he is well-prepared to set the record straight.
The Stickler&#8217Guide to Science in the Age of
Misinformation unpacks the many misuses of terms we see
used every day, revealing how these popular
&#8220cintific&#8221concepts fall short of real science. Find

gravity is not the reason that astronauts float in space.
