If It Was Not At Springer-Verlag. I Would Suspect Parody

"Lying increases trust in science"

"This study concludes by emphasizing how problematic it is that, currently, the best way to increase public trust is to lie, suggesting that a better way forward (and the real solution to the transparency paradox) would be to resolve the problem of the public overidealizing science through science education and communication to eliminate the naïve view of science as infallible."

Yes, admitting you think lying will solve the problem of mistrust is such an effective solution to the mistrust.

If not for all the misleading information that we were fed about the origins of COVID, there would be no need to worry about that.

What National Science Foundation Grants Should Fund, not DEI

"A new gene therapy has been shown to reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The treatment increases the heart’s ability to pump blood and significantly improves survival rates. A paper describing the results calls it “an unprecedented recovery of cardiac function.”

One of the many downsides of myocardial infarction (heart attack in layman's terms) is that the loss of oxygen to heart tissue kills those tissues,  causing permanent loss of function.   Or so it was always assumed.   After my 2014 infarction, I found a journal article about a medical research who had one, and found that by regular cardiovascular conditioning (a lot of demanding exercise) he was able to restore some of the "lost" function.  My cardiologist was quite impressed, not just by the results but that a patient brought a medical journal article to him as opposed to something they saw on Oprah.  (Of course,  I am not a typical patient, but you already knew that.)

The scientists are hoping for human clinical trials in the fall.  Who knows?  This might reach prescription level before I die.
