Research findings, viral studies, and scientific claims under the lens.
All racists have a distorted view of the world and genuinely believe that their racist behavior is not wrong.
MOSTLY BS
Collagen extracted from cannonball jellyfish (Stomolophus sp.2) shows α-chain bands (α1 and α2) and higher-molecular-weight β and γ components on SDS-PAGE that are consistent with type I collagen.
NOT BS
The metre is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
NOT BS
Telling small self-serving lies can desensitize a person and increase the likelihood that the person will tell bigger lies later.
NOT BS
A climate-action blueprint attributed to David Attenborough calls for creating large no-fishing marine protected areas covering at least one-third of the world's oceans.
MOSTLY BS
Climate change is a primary cause of massive heatwaves in Europe.
HARDLY BS
At a fixed temperature, changing the total air pressure (lowering it by removing air or raising it by adding air) does not significantly change the maximum amount of water vapor that a given volume of space can contain, because the saturation vapor pressure of water is nearly the same.
NOT BS
A hook echo on weather radar indicates that a storm cell is going to form.
TOTAL BS
The Earth is not a perfect sphere.
NOT BS
In salary negotiations, job candidates often adjust their salary expectations toward an employer-provided initial salary anchor before the employer makes further negotiation moves.
HARDLY BS
SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) escaped from a laboratory in China.
TOTAL BS
The sum of all natural numbers (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ) equals 1/12.
TOTAL BS
The size of a specific brain region correlates with a person's gender identity.
HARDLY BS
Testosterone is the principal endocrine mechanism by which sexual selection translates into morphological sexual dimorphism.
SOME BS
Sexual dimorphism is energetically costly to produce and maintain, and these costs are expected to increase as environments become more thermally stressful.
HARDLY BS
Physiological costs of expressing sexually selected traits (for example, elevated thermal loads) can oppose natural selection that would otherwise favor smaller or less ornamented phenotypes, especially under environmental stress.
NOT BS
Stratospheric ozone over China is significantly depleted due to pollution.
TOTAL BS
Factories in China are destroying the Earth's ozone layer.
MOSTLY BS
Scientific studies show that the risk of misidentification from partial DNA matching in familial DNA searching is very low.
MOSTLY BSNo checks match that verdict.
