Power-posing politicians, human pheromones, and other psychological myths
Newspapers often feature studies that sound too good to be true: it turns out they’re myths. Tristram has been looking into one of them – human pheromones. Some myths may be harmless but the phenomenon affects most kinds of research including medicine. The good news is that there’s a new movement tackling misleading unreliable research and trying to give us results we can trust.
Open to all. The talk is designed for researchers from all disciplines and the general public.
