PubMed is a scientist's resource for peer-reviewed publications. But, there is a disconnect between scientific advance and public knowledge. Social media is awash with anecdotes and popular media often skews public knowledge with inaccurate interpretations of scientific work, sometimes simply to fit a predetermined alarmist headline. Even scientists occasionally up-sell their work to the media to create inappropriately melodramatic impact. This results in the true signal being lost among the noise. My goal is to filter the signal from the noise. So, come PubCrawling with me, Dr Thomas Solomon, and get your science snifter fix by chugging from the glass of knowledge while I attempt to add some clarity to the obscurity.
