One year ago I made a post about yet more bad science writing. The target, this article: Our Unconscious Brain Makes The Best Decisions Possible.

My criticisms included this paragraph:

Does the unconscious brain exist on a higher plane of our spinal column? I wonder — was this piece of poor reporting intentionally penned in a manner to give New Agers a chubby in their over-extending-the-meaning-of-science-findings chakra?

Yikes. Snarky.

Because there seems to be an abundance of bad science writing, I’m sure I’ll be making many more posts on the topic in the years to come. Oh joy.
