Osher Online: “Studies Show…” (Or Do They?): Under the Hood of a Scientific Study   

What really changes when you read beyond the abstract? In this interactive course, you open real research papers (many in health and nutrition) and explore what scientists actually look for. Consider how small design choices can dramatically shape a study’s meaning, and why headlines rarely tell the full story. By the course conclusion, you will never read “studies show…” the same way again. Your curiosity is all that’s required. No scientific or mathematical background is assumed.
